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.................

I was writing something and said, "jest of what was said" and not "gist".

Filling in for "THE MRS!", HO stepped in to correct my error.

But since I've been interacting on Forums for some time, it didn't phase me in the least. :killinme
