Proverbs 6: 16-19

There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers.

Proverbs 13:5 The righteous hates falsehood, but the wicked brings shame and disgrace.

Proverbs 11;1-31 A false balance is an abomination to the Lord, but a just weight is his delight. When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with the humble is wisdom. The integrity of the upright guides them, but the crookedness of the treacherous destroys them. Riches do not profit in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death. The righteousness of the blameless keeps his way straight, but the wicked falls by his own wickedness

I am one of those believers who is well and truly hacked off by right-wingers who claim to be religious and spew lies.

I am told there was a Texas liberal named Bernard Rappoport. He knew his Old Testament as well or better than the lie-spewers on the political right and could quote at length on the iniquities of right-wing practices and beliefts.
