Lies!

you can see the most doubtful things on social media

viewpoints as diverse as a shotgun blast at long range

likewise missing the target more often than hitting it

“it’s a free country” they say “believe what you wish”

true enough, and sometimes beliefs may even be right

but even so, truth does not need to be supported by lie

Both "Lies" and "Truth Unblemished" were written in response to comments I've seen posted about the recent Trucker's Convoys protesting our various levels of governments' reaction to the COVID-19 pandemic. I have Christian friends and acquaintances who are vocal in their support of the convoys and their opposition to government mandates and others who are vocal in their opposition to these. Both will at times cite proofs in support of their opinions that are, at best, questionable and, at worst, unrighteous. Whatever side we find ourselves on of any debate we find ourselves in there is no place in the Christian's argument for deception. Truth does not need a lie to support it.
