Lieing Is NOT a Nessesity

In science fiction you make stuff up that appears close to the truth and technology tries to make it real. At one point people begin to believe and then when they see a flaw in the apparently flawless drama they call it a lie. The fact, it wasn't true to begin with and we have been building on fiction.

When I was in a summer fun program at "southern baptist" academy the care worker MR. Morrision use to create these elaborate stories and tell them to the children. The older kids knew it wasn't true and called him a liar, as at one point he told a child that a piece of barnical that they found at the beach was a mermaid brain. The younger kids looked at him with a fasination that made him a God.

So at one point you have to "come clean" and say yes it's not true. Lieing is not a nessesity. Once you get labled a liar it's difficult to find a common ground of truth, and to quit lieing. Science fiction is the basis of most of what I write, what's interesting is that it has a way of becoming science fact. Seperation of fact and fiction, such as a video game vs a philosophy of understanding is important because we find a variety of very interesting concepts in the video games today. Alot of the fictional games we play are very close to real life drams that play out in every day life.

Total Annilation for example. There's nothing real about it but it teaches military strategy, that can be very real if the user plays it long enough. These games may seem irreleveant to real life, but the conscious of the player is effected by the game it self.

So why lie?. "The rabbit" is a myth therefore it can't die unless people stop believing, just like Santa Clause. In order to defeat the lieing spirit one must find the first lie and repent then make a consious decesion not to lie anymore.

What we have created is a tangled web of mythogoly that we all know is not true from the begging. Kind of like a fishing story, the fish is always just a little bit bigger than you know it really was.
