Don't lie

There's some wiggle room in "Thou shalt not bear false witness ." That's how most people have heard it. I've heard plenty of analysis that pretty much lets people off the hook. What it comes down to, though, is "Don't lie."

Not a lot of wiggle room there. 

But what about...? Don't lie. But what if...? Don't lie. It doesn't say, "Don't lie unless..." It says, "Don't lie."

So don't lie.
