My high school math teacher. He believed that his god make it looks like it was done a millenium later that it really was in order to recognize those with faith and those without.

It didn't make sense to me at that time, still doesn't, but well at least he was teaching maths and not physics or biology.

...???... so according to him, God created a fake to find out who had faith in him when faced with a... fake ?

Hmmm... so I guess in his conception of God (apart from being a faker), those who believe in ‘false gods’ based on false information/object must also be good Christians.

What's more, that would mean that God lies and makes reality lie... so lying isn't actually a mortal sin?

Right, I have to stop trying to believe that there's any logic in any religion. All these guys are just fanatics who end up contradicting themselves all the time.

Especially funny when you consider mainstream Christians generally believe God is incapable of lying, since you know, he is Truth itself, and the "will of God" is not the same thing as a will of a person but really a part of His essence, thus God being deceitful would go against the essence of what he is. Truth cannot be a lie, it would just be contradictory.
