Television Show "Lie To Me"

This past Wednesday Fox's season premiere of the new show "Lie to Me" was on. I had seen the previews to it and it seemed like it would be a kind of fun show to watch. The season premiere was about a teacher that was killed in a high school and the problem was that they didn't know who killed her. Throughout the episode the main character was interviewing people and trying to pick up hints on whether they were lying to him or not. As the show went on, he continued to pick up hints on who was lying to him and who was being straight and honest. Finally in the end they figured out who was guilty for the murder of the teacher.

The stories that I believe that this television series is trying to get across to its viewers is that many people lie to others and they don't even realize it. People like to lie if it is easier for them or if they know that they will benefit from it. I think that this show will show people a glimpse at how much people lie in their lifetime. I also think that it will stir up thoughts in peoples minds that will make them think twice about lying as much as they do. I think that this show is good because it will affect people in different ways and will get on people's conscious'. Obviously this show is pointing out how lying is causing evil and chaos in the world.

This artifact is showing us what the empire is doing to us and how it is influencing our decisions. The empire has caused us to want to lie more because lying allows us to feel more comfortable and lets us benefit out of what we are telling people. In order to live more for the Kingdom of God we have to stop telling lies and be straight up and honest with everyone we come in contact with. Hopefully this television show gets on peoples nerves and causes them to do what is right.

  1. Do you think there's any chance that Lie to Me is lying? For example, it seems that a lot of crime shows on television attempt to set up a hero character with remarkable abilities to catch the "bad guy" in under 60 minutes. This plot generally makes us feel better about the world, often pacifying us from doing anything about the real brokenness in our communities. We think, "well, someone is doing that job already" and we begin to minimize the problem of sin.
