If my wife asks me "Does my bum look big in this?", I wouldn't dare answer other than "No, dear...". There's such a thing as self-preservation...!

Depends greatly on what is to be gained and lost; I honestly don't care about maintaining any principals when confirming to my mother that I still attend mass. To do otherwise would be inviting unnecessary pain.

I also have no desire to explain the truth to someone that didn't ask or has no desire to hear it. If someone is asking a simple question about their faith on here, I won't just up and decide to call them out on it out of some need to be a d1ck to strangers.

Truth is...if i told everyone the truth or how i "really" thought id bet i'd be a regular visitor to the emergency room, especially where im from. Now thats the truth.

Yes. (telling you what you want to hear instead of the truth)

In real life, I try to be truthful to most people. However, some folks are so immature and belligerent that I'll tell them what they want to hear just to get rid of them.
