My definition of "LIE" is, to deceive purposely. If the leader of any particular religion really believes that what they're professing is the truth, then it's not a lie. However, if they purposely omit details that are harmful to what they're professing, then it's a lie by omission. Or, if they purposelly pass a lie as the truth, then that's also a lie.
The first religious leaders who devised the lie might be dead for hundred years and the lie becomes written in stone and a sacred tradition to the followers, basing their identity and unity on this lie. To me religion is the primal lie to prime subjects for more lies and manipulations by their oppressors. Most dictatorial leaders are always forcing some kind of religion on us. Somehow the message is also put across that they rule by the grace of their god figure and that they represent this god figure. To criticise them is to criticise god. To find true freedom, religion must be annihilated.
Religion is based on man made doctrines. According to The Bible, anything that does not align itself with the teachings of Jesus is a lie.
A:Although there may well be no truth in religion, this does not mean that it is a lie. Many sincere people have preached about their religion, in the honest belief that what they were preaching was the truth. I do not believe religion is a lie.
The Book does not lie but they who follow it. And that book is the Bible

He's a Jew. Him being a Catholic is a lie. And his parents were Jews as well.
You're asking a rhetorical question in which the expected answer is already stated in the question. There are lies and truth in everything, and it's usually more beneficial to focus on what we already know to be true.
No I didn't know that. Do you know that Christianity is not about religion, it is about relationship a person's relationship with God.
Most religions claim to be the only true religion, so this should not be surprising to anybody.
I think you have to be more precise. Do you mean that religion (every system that worships a deity) has lies in it, or is a lie? The Bible obviously is the word of God - so many prophecies have come true, so much proof to be found. Please specify your question!
Not gonna lie, I am wondering the same exact thing. For some reason I feel like it has to do with religion..
Believing something different than your neighbor does is not the same as lying.
