According to a certain good book there is no one lie bigger or worse than the other. Maybe that's a sin... Hmmm?
Don't you think importance is decided by the person asking the question? If it is so small and trivial than why lie? If one is so willing to admit to this type of lying, how would we trust them on bigger issues?
I think the pathetic part is a man has lied to you. Another man has been honest. The road you take says more about you than it will me. That's just the facts, as pathetic as you make them.....
