How can Truth Lie through half-truths?

Question

This question is based on the newly discovered dimensions of a dark side to Truth, which may be the original sin, a sin that is still with us; half-truths.

Problem is there was until recently only one definition of half-truth in most dictionaries, there is now some 7 newly discovered forms of half-truths. What are they?

Everything has a negative side to it, people, angels, but not God.

So the question is how can truth be manipulated upon to lie to us. Most of politics involes this type of lie, the term applied to it is 'half-truths'.

Provide examples of different half-truths ?

I will give you one !

Example:
"We are all equal before God"
is changed to
"We are all equal"
This type of half-truth is a literal half of a truth.
We are all equal is the false logic communisom, we may be equal in some areas but in general we are not all equal. Being equal before God (Law), implies that you won't get (idealisticly) special treatment.

The somewhat psychotic view of reality, ie we are all equal, a black and white simplification of justice, should be about EQUITABLE TREATMENT...

Answer 1

Personally, I've never been able to accept the notion of a "half" truth. A statement is either true or false, and by false I mean something that someone believes and asserts which, out of ignorance or misinformation, is untrue, or, by way of nefarious intent is false (a lie) for the purpose of misleading. In your example, "we are all equal," is a lie of omission, used by the likes of civil rights advocates to persuade and rally support for a cause. Accept in the eyes of God (which relies on a belief in God) people are in no way, as a practical matter, equal in terms of wealth, talent, intellect, physical prowess, and so on. Even as equality applies to treatment under the law, that supposedly applies equally to everyone, a poor person who has to depend on a court appointed attorney in no way enjoys the same chance of acquittal as someone charged with the same crime who can afford an accomplished lawyer to defend him. All of which is to make my point that no statement is half true. If it contains any element of falsehood, it is completely untrue.

Answer 2

without the different area being a lie, I found out that a nil.5-reality substitute into revealing in basic terms area of pertinent recommendations, for that reason leaving some reality unsaid, deceptive the listener. as an occasion, it extremely is a reality that the pond over there has an familiar intensity of one foot. the risky ingredient is, no person mentioned something with reference to the twenty foot hollow contained in the middle...

Answer 3

I believe you get a half-truth when you don't tell the "whole" truth.

Answer 4

Two wrongs, don't make a Right!
