So what's with all these torrents of accusations that atheists don't know how to tell the truth but Christians always tell the truth?

Ah, dear Albion. Don't get so worked up fundies have been consummate liars for centuries.

One of the most rabid of all fundies, Martin Luther, had this doozy on the subject of lying:

Quote:
"What harm would it do, if a man told a good strong lie for the sake of the good and for the christian church... a lie out of necessity, a useful lie, a helpful lie, such lies would not be against God, he would accept them."

Martin Luther, protestant reformist
Fundies can't help it when it comes to lying for the Invisible Pink Unicorn rider.

Just curious, where did the Luther quote come from?

Peace

katellagen, I harvested that quote after doing a Google search using Luther + quotes. I think it was from one of his long-arsed, hate-filled, spittle-laden books which were the forerunner of todays fundie spew, but I didn't note the reference or the site it came from.

Sorry.
