There are acceptable reasons for lying to your friends..?

    I am not trying to push your belifs down, but lyeing in not righgt in any circumstance. I mean if you had no other choice in the matter I guess. I mean I believe the Bible, and doing that is like asking me to deny Christ if it is between me dyeing or living. I couldn't do that. I don't want to pusha ny belief you don't agree with, but I guess your situations is diffrent, and could be acceptable. I guess if you had no other choice, but to lie for your firend then ok.I mean really it is what you believe.

    Source(s): I hope this helped even though it was not exactly what you were lokking for. =)
