You said -- "I am suprised at how eager people are to believe this nonsense for any reason."

So, basically you're saying that they're liars and they never did consider these things. They only made it up after the fact (or rather the wife did) -- and thus there is no truth to it...

If that's what you're saying -- it sounds like you're saying that *simply* because you cannot accept that someone would have thought that or acted like that *before the fact*. So, "testimony" doesn't mean anything to you. All that matters is whether you can believe it or not.

Actually it's not too hard for me to believe that this is *true testimony* of the wife -- about her and her husband. Why is it that hard to believe. Let's say (for sake of discussion) that they were misled in their own emotions and that it couldn't possibly be "true". That being the case -- they *still wouldn't be lying* (in their testimony to this "fact") -- but only that they believed something that wasn't actually true (in your mind, at least).

But, you -- on the other hand -- have to say that they *have to be lying* and that's the only option.

I'm afraid you've got a very limited view of the whole thing -- no matter whether you believe such a thing is true or not.

Why is is so difficult and from YOUR view point so unacceptable that I don't believe this nonsense?

Again. either something is true or false. If I believe it to be false, then naturally the person stating it would not be someone I see as telling the truth. GEESH!!! Is it so unheard of for someone to NOT be telling the truth? People lie all the time. When Clinton's lips moved - he's typically lying. When George Bush states that ILLEGAL immigrants are doing the jobs Americans won't do or that they're here NOT committing crimes and contribute MORE than the tab they run up - GWB is LYING. So you see anyone can spout nonsense and lie. It's really no biggie.

Are you always so intolerant of other views and so SHOCKED that people LIE? Yup. lying is the only rational option here too. Don't worry, U won't try and sell you swamp land in Florida. You believe whatever you want. One thing though, I will not go round and round and round with you rephrasing the same reasons why I see this person as lying. You'll have to do that on your own. I've stated my reasons in many different ways and it's getting old.

Try and have a good day.
