As long as I believe it to be true, it's not a lie.

If you believe that you always tell the truth, you had better go to the DMV and get the weight changed on your drivers’ license. I would bet that at a meeting at work, you would not dare to say the truth or what you are really thinking, lest you might lose your job. So if there are people who believe that they tell the truth all of the time, I am rather doubting that.
Concur. There are no simple untruths and bold face lies. There is just Lying and everybody does it, including the ones who say they do not. Period. End of sentence.

I guess we all do it .... to a certain extent ... I don't think I would argue that. I am just as guilty as anyone who speaks to a child who believes in Santa, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy. I just can't find the strength to clarify the truth to any little person who still believes.
