Whether you are a Jew, Muslim, or a Christian we have the Ten Commandments that tells us not to bear false witness against anyone. Yet, this has been done from everyone and generally from people with a political agenda and sometimes within the same religion. What do you think or know about the lies that is so prominent in religions that say it is wrong to do so?

"The Far Left-Liberal biased "MEDIA IS A FALSE WITNESS"?
You have got to be kidding!!
These guys no longer report the News they fabricate it and interpret it and spin it and color it then report it !!!!
How about the utterly biased and libelous New York Times, The Boston Globe, The St. Petersberg Times,The Washington Post, and The San Francisco Times for starters...
"Hard News" reporting is a thing of the past and real journalism has long been lost with these Far-Left Wing-Radical Liberal Anti-American, Hate Bush, Bash America, Hug A Muslim Terrorist ACLU supporting "Newspapers"!!!!
Journalism has become SO degraded and adulterated it's shameful.

Christians believe that we have a "sin nature." We were born into sin, and it's an everyday struggle to do what's right and not give into that nature. I'm a Christian, and I'll admit that I've lied. I try not to, but sometimes the draw of not getting into trouble outweighs the compulsion to tell the truth in a tight moment. The good thing is that when we do sin, we can ask for forgiveness because Christ gave his life to atone for those moments of weakness---those sins. We'd be in a heap of trouble without that!
But outside of religious regulations, lies have deeper consquences emotionally and mentally. We wouldn't be able to build trust or have intimate relationships if it we lied all the time. It would be impossible to really know someone or respect someone who didn't have the integrity to show who they really are---faults and all.
It's true that we have the Ten Commandments to help guide us, but they really came along at a time when God's people had lost track of what was right and wrong. If you look at what they say, they're not so much sweeping "do-this-or-else" decrees; they're common sense ways of making life better for yourself and those around you.

You know...you are right. It is pretty obvious that "truth" can be spun any way they want to in order to get ratings. And that is the bottom line.
For all of those who blame "religion" for the world's woes, they maybe ought to take a look at the credibility or the agenda of the broadcasting machines.
I'm guilty too. If it's a story that puts Christians in a negative spotlight, I figure is spun to look that way. If the story puts Muslims in a negative spotlight, I believe it.
From now on, I'm going to remember it's the same people reporting both sides. Thanks for the heads up on this beautiful Sunday morning.....I think I'll say what you said in my Sunday School class and take the credit for it myself...LOL!

Humans are all gonna make mistakes. Just because they are in the media or famous doesn't mean they are free of prejudice. Somone who is of a different faith may deliberately or unknowingly slant the truth when reporting about other faiths. That is why we need to look at something higher and greater than the media (or earthly thing) for answers. Thats why we need to look to God and something that is eternal and never changes and never makes mistakes. Peoples opinions, fashion, style...even religious practices change constantly. If you follow these trends and opinions you will never have a solid ground to stand on or a platform to understand things from. But God never changes....we need to go to him for answers.

There is a difference between what is right and what is done
In Quran God say"The thing God hates the most is that you say what you do not do"
So unless you are consistent, you are in trouble
