I would think that it would be very clear to everyone who wants to know who is lying. It seems so clear to me, but some people seem confused.

You have two groups of people, and each group is accusing the other of lying. Each group is claiming to be telling the truth. One of these groups is commonly called left-wingers or liberals. The other group is commonly called right-wingers or conservatives.  We will only deal with Christians here.  In the language of liberalism, Christians are generally called, right-wingers or conservatives.

These two groups have totally different views of the world around them.

The Christian group embraces Christian, Biblical, values and one of these values is the concept that says: "It is a sin to tell a lie. A lie is an abomination to God. There are absolutes. There is an absolute God. There is an absolute truth. There are absolute lies. The ends do not justify the means.  Leaders should be held to internal consistency and integrity." The Christians are appalled by the liberal concept that there are no absolutes and there is no truth.

The left-wing group embraces liberalism's values and one of these values is the concept that says: "There is no such thing as truth and, as a result, no such thing as a lie. Liberals hate the Christian belief that there is such a thing as sin. There are no absolutes. There is no absolute God. There is no absolute truth. There are no absolute lies. An intellectual is one who can hold many conflicting opinions at the same time. It's about winning, not about truth. You do what you have to do to win; the ends justify the means. Presentation and control of the media is everything. Our leaders are not held to internal consistency and integrity." The liberalism are appalled by the Christian concept that there are absolutes and there is truth.

What a contrast!

Can you see what I see?

Is it as plain to you as it is to me which of these two groups is lying and which is telling the truth?

Now, it may not be true 100% of the time.  Keep in mind also that all Republicans are not conservatives. Not all conservatives are trying to follow the Bible.  Not all conservatives are Christians.  Certainly, there is a difference in the degree of truthfulness when comparing any two conservatives. There is a difference in motivation between any two conservatives and even between any two Christians.

But one thing is clear: liberalism presents no ethical reason not to lie. Some liberals may have picked up the Christian tenet that it is a sin to tell a lie, but that is in direct conflict with the tenets of liberalism.  In general, liberalism allows each person to determine what he or she will call right or wrong.
