Lies originate from the father of lies, the Devil. Those who practice lying are his off-spring. Yes, there may be fervent denial, and tipid attempts to deflect the truth, but lies kill. There is no other way to put it. Lies are built upon a platform of pride. Liars do not care or understand that the tissues of the brain are transformed by their lies. There are specific neuropathways that become a dedicated network for lies. Lies can become an intrinsic defining characteristic of the personality. Read the history of the devil in the Bible!
