Internet Ethics Question
 

If a Christian forwards an email with out checking out the information it contains, and the email contains lies and falsehoods does that make them a liar? There name is now attached to the lie. I get these all the time from Christians, containing all kinds of lies that can be checked out in a matter of seconds. SO does forwarding a lie in an email make you a liar?

No, it makes you look like a stupid idiot instead. That's not mentioned as a sin, however.....LOL!

My son owns a t-shirt that says 'Stupidity is not a crime, so you are free to go.'

I love that shirt!

Gossip is Gossip... it doesn't matter if it's written or spoken. It doesn't matter if it's truth or a lie... It's Gossip no matter what you try to call it...

I usually return those a few times with a link to snopes.com and eventually the number of those emails decreases. :D

I have a friend that makes T-Shirts to sell. I'm gonna give her this line... :D She will love it! Thanks. :D

Tell her to spell 'you're' as 'your'...otherwise, they won't get it. :sly


(At the end of the year, I was looking through my son's 8th grade yearbook that had a bunch of kids' well-wishes. The ratio for spelling 'your' instead of 'you're' was about 12:1! And that included one teacher!!!) :lol

My son would want that!

I don't get e-mails and my friends know I don't open forwarded e-mails and I don't get phone calls about church stuff. I just argue on the Forum.

I am at peace! :killinme

Hey! I do that! It's easier than thinking. I go totally phonetic when I type too much or if I am tired.

:killinme

I totally get the jest of this post.


:D

maybe I'm just too tired from too much fireworks last night, but I don't get it at all. Care to explain?

Bump.................
