Our Daily Bread published an article on lying in the August 28, 1992 edition. In that devotional
reading, it stated that lying seems to be a way of life for many people:
“We lie at the drop of a hat. The book The Day American Told the Truth says that 91 percent of
those surveyed lie routinely about matters they consider trivial, and 36 percent lie about important matters; 86 percent lie regularly to parents, 75 percent to friends, 73 percent to siblings, and 69 percent to spouses.”
