I have always found it very ironic that people are so willing to break the Eighth Commandment forbidding bearing false
witness against neighbour, to maintain «Biblical morality».
John Wesley said bearing false
witness is «speaking falsely in any matter» including «lying, equivocating, and any way devising and designing to deceive our
neighbour,» or to speak «unjustly
against our
neighbour, to the prejudice of his reputation.»
