Do you LIE for the sake of not being being blamed or scolded at?

anger - I don't want to anger any members of my family. What i just do is to lie to them. I know it's wrong but they're just petty deeds.

I really do this especially to my family. I know it's wrong but I still do it because they become outrageous when I tell them the truth.haha. I lie about doing stuffs like stealing their stocked food, or using their stuffs without permission.haha.It's so annoying hearing their pitchy-angry voice.Their sermons are too lengthy.

I really don't want to lie. But, I really got used to it already. Will I be a potential criminal then? That would be scary.

no, you aren't a potential criminal lol. The fact that you don't want to gives you that answer right there.

I refuse to be a liar of any sort.I consider myself a christian,so I know it is wrong to lie at all.Small lies count too.A lie is a lie.I'm totally honest with people,if I'm in a situation when asked something I don't want to lie,I just tell the person I don't have a comment.I'd rather not say anything.

I didn't say never since birth,but when I came to be a christian,I stopped and I do make sure not to do it,because I know it's wrong.I came to be a christian about five years ago.

Yeah i try not to lie ever but i must admit there have been a few occasions when i did finish all the ice cream and blamed someone else. lol I know where your coming from though it is tempting to avoid the lectures but after a while the guilt usually gets me to fess up lol

Hahaha.. you remind me of my childhood memory. But now that I'm not getting any younger, I realized its not really good to tell a lie and making your self safe. Its better to tell the truth and face the consequences at all. You make your own action and be responsible, as simple as that.
