     Play for Audio              Version

Raise your right hand and let me say this. Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help you God?

You're probably like, thinking... about what Sam? I don't know I'm just saying it because that's what came to mind. Let's continue.

What is coming to mind is that show on TV that was resurrected from the past. The show, To Tell The Truth. A game show hosted by Anthony Anderson. The game show where 3 people
claiming they are the real..... 2 are lying about what their real identity is. 1 person is telling the truth And, the 2 contestants have to guess who's telling the truth.

Let me be like a strict,  live by the book Christian right now. I will say, wait what? They're making a show that will make lying entertaining? Lying is a good thing? Is that what they are saying?

That skewed thinking kind of reminds me of this other bad way of being entertained. You all ever hear of the television show "Lucifer." No thank you, I have never seen the show. Nor, do I ever plan to. My deep thoughts about that is what? Why would you make a television show about evil?Then, trying to make evil seem good? The words evil and good do not go well together. They don't go together at all, let alone should be used for entertainment purposes? I don't think so!

Friends, moral of this writing is something I am pretty sure we all should know. And, that is lying is bad! So, we must always tell the truth. Lucifer is very bad. That is Satan! So, stay away from anything that has to do with him.
