Where are all (at least, most of us) brought up that lying is wrong and that telling the truth is the right thing to do. But in what case may lying be justifiable?

I get impatient with folk who insist I should believe in god, it's they who should have to prove the existence and there is no proof.

Answering a question the other day, I realised that I'd love to hear other people's thoughts on the subject. So...
Cast your mind back across the 20th century and think of an art form. Theatre, dance, film, fine art, music - classical / popular - comedy, the novel, you name it, and see if you can think of leading figures in that medium. Easy, isn't it?
Now think of those same mediums today and think of any great leading figures who are still working at the height of their powers. Hard, isn't it?
I suppose my question is in three parts.
!. Do you agree with my proposition?
2. If so, what's going on here?
3. Does it matter? I would argue that it does. The works of, say, Picasso, Olivier, the Beatles, Brando etc. were important in and of themselves, but just as important was the effect they had on other artists working in their mediums.
I'd even apply this idea to other areas of life. Politics, sport, science;choose your own.
Let me know what you think on this.
Thanks.

I'm doing a book report, and I'm supposed to find out what the theme of the book is. By the way, the theme is what the author is trying to say about humanity. I think it is "everyone has special talents," something along the lines of that. What do you think? Please help!

do inanimate objects and our enviroment exist seperatley from our perceptions??

lets say that we are the only one who exists. and we created everything we have ever known with our imagination. if we are incredibly intelligent enough to create all of this, then dont you think we would have created it in a way on which we would not be able to recognize it as an illusion? because if we did recognize it as an illusion then that would have defeated the whole purpose of creating it in the first place. dont you agree?

people say theres always a chance that this is all made up because the fact is, is that the scenerio cannot be proven. but then a gain it canot be disproven. what do you think.

i do exist right? and everybody i coexist with has there own perceptions right? im not the only one who truly exists?
