Believing falsehoods is not the same as believing lies, because not all
falsehoods are lies.  People *have* been known to make honest mistakes,
but I suppose this simple concept is beyond the intellectual grasp of the
average christianoid.  Believing lies is not the same as lying to oneself,
if you have no way of knowing that you were told a lie.

Were you born a fool, or did it take years of practice?
