What’s worse, lots of inconsequential lies … or a a couple of consequential ones?
============
As a Catholic kid, I was taught about the difference between venial sins and mortal ones.
The former are naughty-naughty … destining you to a few years in a holding tank before admittance to perpetual bliss in heaven.
The latter – mortal sins – are bad-bad … guaranteeing you that you’ll get banished to the fires of hell.
That lesson comes to mind when former President Obama adopts his trademarked holier-than-thou persona and lambasts current President Trump as a congenital liar.
