I'm a big proponent of not lying and none of these scenarios require lying: >If you answered the door to this crazy axe-wielding man, would you tell him where Karen was? I hope not. You would lie, and you’d be right to do so. You could easily say, "I'm not going to tell you," "I'm calling 911," "I'm armed." >Similarly, if someone on their deathbed asks if you think they will go to heaven, it’s probably not a good time to tell them that you are an atheist. "I don't know," is the truthful answer no matter your religious point of view. "I hope so," is another good choice that isn't a lie. >Does my bum look big in this dress? No of course not, your bum looks great, but perhaps the other dress is better for tonight? "You're beautiful," "You look wonderful tonight."
