The lies you were told as a child.

[The Great Fa]

Alright, just to mix it up...

That I should occasionally question my faith. Ha ha! Joke's on them!

Sarcasm is hard to display over the intertubes. Elaborate por favor?

EDIT: I was told that I could grow up to do whatever I wanted.

I'm not being sarcastic in the slightest. I have never questioned that the word of God is absolute truth and fully deserving of my obedience. Even as my friends and I matured and they all started adopting very noticeable anti-theist airs, I retained my faith.

I'd like to take this opportunity to beg people not not get the wrong impression of me. Yes, I am a conservative bible-thumping redneck. But I do have a sense of humor about the whole thing (seriously!) and I like to think that I can get along with anyone regardless of race, creed or, yes, sexual orientation. Please don't treat me like day-old turd.

I am SO close to going on a rant. I don't give a damn WHAT you believe in, DON'T insult me or anyone else by saying that any Religion is a lie.

Fucking bigots. Seriously...

I have to agree with you, religion is simply another brand of truth. Proving or disproving it is like finally proving a theory, all you really would be doing is providing a perception on how the final outcome was reached that ignores the facts of the other theories explaining the same phenomena. All this really translates into is, one mans bullshit (be it science or religion), is another mans way of life. So stfu and roll with what comes.

The truth my dad taught me was that if you talk enough that there may be a nugget of wisdom that falls out of the ever streaming torrent of bullshit.

As for a lie when I approached parents about the various creatures and people that were breaking into our house every holiday they simply said "guess were busted, so what kinda chocolate you want for easter?"

That the sky is blue cuz it reflects off the ocean. Then why's the ocean blue? ALL LOGIC FAILS FROM THAT POINT.

I thought it was that the ocean was blue because it was reflecting the sky, and the sky was blue because the water in the air was reflecting the blue rays of sunlight?

Santa, and the whole thing about don't make stupid faces or the wind might change and you'll stay like that! lol

Yea water is clear, and water is darker at night cause there is no sky reflect off.

"stop that or youll go blind" yeah right like that could actually happ*looks at glasses* FUCK! >.<

Thats more likely a result of all those nudie mags when we were in our early teens, squinting in the middle of the night and not wanting to turn on the lights and get caught.

That high school is fun
(Freshman this year)
IT IS A LIE!

high school is all sorts of fun, i would gladly give up my stupid job and bills and responsibilities to go back to high school and waste time with my friends all day.

i was a nerd and loved high school. all my nerd buddies hacked the network and fucked with the ass holes (like turning off their computers when they were writing their ISUs). or would utilize that good old nerd rage! "sure i have a concussion, but is that really all you got?" *head but* *knee to face* tee hee ah i miss it even

 

[ExplosionProofTaco]

'You Can be anything you want to be' was the one for me.

What if i wanted to be serial rapist?

Would my parents stop me?

Christianity. 'Nuff said.

Agreed.
Also that whole thing about the 5 second rule.
Lies.
Same thing goes for the whole wait before swimming.
Also Lies.

That my Rabbit only went next door...

Points for guessing the reference.

 

[recalcitrance]

Just the usual Santa Claus thing, but honestly, the subterfuge went deep on that one!

 

[savandicus]

Pretty much anything you learn about chemistry is a lie until you hit a level/university/whatever crazy country you live in's equilivant of vaguely high education.

And i'm surprised noones said this - Eating vegetables will make you stronger/some variation.

When I was about 3, my dad was able to convince me that child-eating alligators lived under the subway platform. Scared the $@#* out of me.

 

[anNIALLator]

My Granda used to tell me that the emergency lights button in his car was an ejector button. I never pressed it. Oh, and the swimming after eating thing is a lie.
