Michael: I am a skeptic at heart, so I would not be too fearful of that. Skepticism does not cloud the truth, it just forces you to take a harder look at things. The truth ultimately shines through. The problem is so many use the word theory as truth. No matter how much information you use, if your evidence is not conclusive, you are not speaking the truth when you say something is proven.

Ron: I think the issue is not whether lying is sin, but what the definition of lying is. To me, ultimately, if Jesus is the Truth, then everything that is contra to his teachings and being must be a lie, and therefore sin. As you have pointed out, however, we have largely run the course of this debate.
