Talking with my girl friend on the phone yesterday we begandisccusing the morality of lying.  In her and the church’s opinion lying is never an option.  If it is a mis-truth than it should never be uttered as the truth is always better.

However the argument I bring to bear is this;

Is it better to tell the truth when it causes un-neccesary pain to both the person telling it and the person hearing it, or to be descretionary on the amount of information given and the method of delivery, to some this is lying.
