Lying is bad. Everyone knows that. And yet most of us do it. Is that just the way things are? Or can we hold ourselves to a higher standard? This week we will discuss how the Bible makes heroes out of liars and yet condemns all liars to hell; Jordan Peterson’s thoughts on the lies we tell others and ourselves; the liars we elect and re-elect, and how we can be part of the solution — or at least stop being part of the problem; and whether getting the win by lying makes the lying better or worse.
