- effie 9y agoAt some time, yes - but the one telling the lie does not need to be the one intending to lie. One may believe something that is a lie and spread it to other people, without actually lying himself. Like a teacher in elementary/high school who teaches what she believes is true about WWII. At some point, she may get to tell some lie, without being aware of that, hence without lying herself - the lie could be intended by the authors or censors of the curriculum and those would be the ones intending the lie.
