Spreading Lies and Half-truths
In the INQ7.net article Mar 26, 2006, the priest Jerry Orbos in his column Moments : Spread light, not lies started off with telling a lie masquerading as a “good” story.
THE story is told about an atheist couple who had a son. Both parents never told their child anything about God or about Jesus. One night, the couple had a fight where the father shot the mother and then shot himself. It all happened in front of the child. The child was sent to a foster home. One day, in a Sunday School, the teacher held up a picture of Jesus and asked if anyone knew who it was. The child in our story raised his hands and said: “That’s the man who was holding me the night my parents died.
Of course we know that the story is just fiction. When you tell that to the kids, let them know that it’s just a story. Just like Jesus Christ is just a story. In the same article, he wrote:
An example of the absurdities of a liar: It’s Ash Wednesday. A Catholic dines at a restaurant and orders shark, dolphin and whale meat. Told that there was none, he right away orders roast beef, lechon and steak thinking that, at least, he tried to order fish.
Well, the thing is, only shark is a fish. Dolphins and whales are mammals. Talk about spreading lies and half-truths.

“HE story is told about an atheist couple…”
What a cheesy story! The sad part of it is that Christians are so maudlin they just love this kind of fabricated crap. Just makes me go ballistic.

I think what this article means is this:
Never rely on faith to order what you want. If that idiotic Catholic had not fell asleep during his science class, he would definitely not ordered shark, dolphin and whale meat all at once.
By ording roast beef, lechon and steak, he merely reinforces the stupidity of the average theist.

I am glad that the ordering of dolphin and whale meat did not go threw, as all those are endangered. - In Sweden where I live you would never be able to order that in any restaurant.
