Re: day 5

haha! Loosie, i love how you put that: "To me ... lying is always a good idea but most people here on this forum have morals."

i don't necessarily believe that lying means you don't have morals :) i have to "lie" or "avoid the truth" about my fasting sometimes in order to protect myself. if you tell the wrong people, you could get yourself into some big trouble.

i look at it this way... if you were hiding Jews in your attic during the nazi regime, and a nazi came banging on your door one day and asked you point blank if you were hiding Jews in your attic, what would you say? are you gonna tell the truth, full-well knowing your friends will now face certain death? would it be immoral to lie and say "no"? ABSOLUTELY NOT. you have to look at the context of the situation.
