Is it ever reasonable for a religious person to lie?
Half of my family is religious. They used to urge me to stick with every of their commandments (from the Bible), but still used to lie to me when they felt the need to.

Many religious people’s kids believe in Santa Claus, so there you go.
@AthrillatheHunt But lying about things they did wrong?

I’m an honest person but I don’t know how I’ll answer my kids if they ask me if I ever tried hard drugs. I may lie. That’s my honest truth.@scooogy

The Bible doesn't enjoin you from lying, just from bearing false witness

@firefall That is what that commandment means, Do. NOT. Lie.

@BridgeOvertroubledWaters Doesn't matter, they love to spout how spiritual they are and claim how they are in control of their "earthly bodies and temptations".

Seems like more and more xtians cannot fathom the concept of Thou Shalt Not Bear False Witnesses.
@NativeOregonian I grew up in the mormon church, they hardly fathom anything of their doctrine.

@scooogy I grew up with a strictly super religious mother, who is in fact a church secretary.

Everyone is still human. In fact loads of people in the Bible lied and did things they weren't supposed to.
