Question: If A Lie Is Told Often Enough!.!.!.Does It Become The Truth!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
To some yes!. To others no!. To me I don't know, for there are many different types of truth!. I believe truth is what you make it yet at the same time it's what is!. However to answer this question you have to question what you believe truth to be!. For it's just as well in the eye of the beholder as is everything else!. This question is a lot like the question "If you believe in something long enough does it become the truth if it wasn't before!?" Some would say no because truth is never a lie!. Others would say yes!. I say this is a touchy matter and a hard question to answer!. Just because you believe in something doesn't make it true just like if you don't believe in it, it doesn't make it any less real!. However as it stands truth is what we make it!. Yet truth goes way beyond us so who are we to say what is true and what isn't true!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

No!. If you lie about something long and often enough, and with enough pseudo-sincerity and enthusiasm, you will often convince a lot of people that what you are saying is true (remember the infamous "weapons of mass destruction" deception!?)!. BUT, like the previous answerer opined, it won't make what you are saying any more true!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

in the essence of the word it is still a lie but to those who keep repeating it it can become muddled and to them it might seem like truth!. it's kinda like 1984 where big brother isn't real but everyone thinks he is except those that start to rebel!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Nope !.!.but it could become "true" to those brainwashed by information fed to them that they didn't bother to check out for themselves !.!.such as comedians with an agenda !.!.who prey on kids who think they are funny!.!.and that if it's funny it must be true !. Ay Yi Yii !.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It was common in religion, who at one time had the power to kill you for heresy, if you didn't believe!. Have you ever wondered, who did Adam & Eve's children have children with if they were the first people on Earth!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

of course it will become the truth!
catterpillars will make the earth flat!
as it was believed to be in the past and still is!
the devil wants to play friz-bee!

Sometimes!. like if you "say tomorrow the earth will come to an end" everyday, eventually it will become the truth!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes it does!. The lie is eventually perceived as the truth and people will eventually forget the truth!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The truth is that whenever how many times you've said a lie, it's still considered a lie!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Of course not!. I could lie about the sky being purple from now til eternity and it wouldn't ever become the truth!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
