This is one of those interesting items that public perception (and upbringing) has a great bearing on your opinion. As mentioned, I feel that lying in itself is only evil if the intention for doing so is evil. IMHO, there are plenty of situations where lying is understandable. As an example, how many of us are "lying" with our screen names and are careful (or even misleading?) about specific details of our lives here in this forum? That's done to protect ourselves, I don't find that reprehensible at all......
