there are some people i know who were raised with the theory "lie by omission"
if you failed to tell the complete truth when asked, ie only telling half of
what you did, who you were out with etc, then you were lying, by simply omitting
"the rest of the story"  --- and i believe that the "biblical scholars" out
there will have various quotes from the bible that concur with that theory,
not being so knowledgeable about the bible i would never even attempt to quote

i wonder too, what consititutes a lie and what the truth???? are you lying 
if you fail mention something and are never asked??? ie, if your current 
boy/girl friend doesn't ask you who you went to lunch with, then you would
not be forced into lying if it was someone your current didn't like/approve
etc., would you be lying by not mentioning it? or is the lie simply when you
refuse to admit it when asked????
