What is a lie? Wait, don't tell me, the opposite of truth. in other words, you don't know. If you believe a lie, how do you know it is a lie? Actually the opposite of truth is untruth, which is different than a lie. We are talking about truth in the philosophical sense, not the April Fool's day sense. If someone tells you your shoe is untied but it isn't, that is a lie. But if it is untied, that is true, but not a truth. Religious truths are not the opposite of lies, they are truths unto themselves. It doesn't mean a different interpretation is a lie. That's not how this stuff works.

I know a lie when I hear it and I know the truth when I hear it...do you?

No, what you claim is not true. You only have your opinion of it, not perfect knowledge of it

Then, can you show that what you believe is not a lie?

Not tell yourself, but show others.
