Truth is, I try to be an honest atheist, but I know, being human and flawed, I can be a hypocritical person. But not a hypocritical atheist. It gets me that religionists will tell you that their religion is the one true religion, and their religions exclude other beliefs, but there they are running after some new Guru, reading some cosmic consciousness book from their new age bookshop, and I say, "What about your one true religion?" Now that's hypocrisy. I'm an atheist. I don't say that and then tell you about some mystical nonsense I believe this week. I doubt any of you do that either.

lies have to last for ever

Yes it is but to be fair, some Christians are honest
