3. Sad but true...

It never fails to amaze me that the "faithful" would rather be lied to and have candidates that claim religious views when they are 99% informed by secular information and data before making decisions.

Reminded of the old Depeche Mode song 'Lie to Me' from "Some Great Reward" ...



<Chorus 1X>
Come on and lay with me
Come on and lie to me
Tell me you love me
Say I'm the only one

Experiences have a lasting impression
But words once spoken
Don't mean a lot now
Belief is the way
The way of the innocent
And when I say innocent
I should say naive

So lie to me
But do it with sincerity
Make me listen
Just for a minute
Make me think
There's some truth in it

<Chorus 2X>

Promises made for convenience
Aren't necessarily
What we need
Truth is a word
That's lost its meaning
The truth has become
Merely half-truth

So lie to me
Like they do it in the factory
Make me think
That at the end of the day
Some great reward
Will be coming my way

<Chorus 3X>
