>falsehoods are lies.

Johnny, give this man a Doublespeak Award.  The Oxford English Dictionary
(Compact Edition) says,
	Falsehood:  The intentional making of false statements; lying.

>  People *have* been known to make honest mistakes,

True.  You for instance (see above).

>but I suppose this simple concept is beyond the intellectual grasp of the
>average christianoid.

I'm glad you admit we have *some* intellect.  That's awfully generous,
patient and/or tolerant of you.

>  Believing lies is not the same as lying to oneself,
>if you have no way of knowing that you were told a lie.

Makes it important to *seek* the truth, doesn't it?  Or did someone
already tell you what the truth is?

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

I could ask you the same question, but I won't.
