Well, that's far and away the most ignorant remark I've heard in a very long time. Logically you would have to say that any painting or image in any other media, of an unspecified person, is also a "lie." And therefore a sin. Poems too. And parables. Shakespeare, Milton, Michelangelo...Jesus -- all liars?
How can you tell when they are not just doing their job, or using their job skills to try to persuade you to different thinking?
How can one tell...? If you can't, you have a second serious problem there.
No. Illogically YOU said that . Not me. Your extrapolation of what I might be thinking stops right there.
