Honesty has always been considered a keystone of character. Even children know lying is wrong. This is clearly communicated in our faith traditions as well. For example, the Bible warns against some form of lying at least 116 times. It's right there in the 10 commandments -- "Thou shall not bear false witness against your neighbor" and echoed from the Old Testament ("A righteous man hateth lying..." Proverbs 13:5) to the New Testament ("Do not lie to one another...' Colossians 3:9-10).
Whether lying matters is, of course, not an idle question.....
