Response to Misty's: Lying or telling the truth?

First, just wanted to say this is based on telling someone else a lie completely intentionally as opposed to just saying something false by accident. If everyone in the world told the truth to everyone and never lied, feelings would of course be hurt at times but it also might make people stronger over all to take in the truth and accept it for what it is rather than if they were lied to. My personal opinion is I would rather be told the truth all the time because eventually lies do get caught and I would be more upset to find out someone lied to me than just coming out and saying how they felt on a particular situation. I feel like lying is not necessary but because the truth can be hard to admit, people tend to fall away from it and lie or omit certain truth either because the challenge of telling the truth is to hard to bear or simply because people get caught up in their emotions and feel the need to protect themselves from the consequences of telling the truth. Also, most people don't really like lying, but instinctively they try to spare others' feelings from the absolute truth. Everyone can say "I'm not going to lie because i believe the truth is important, has value, and needs to be heard" but it's hard to know unless you are put in a situation where lying might be the easier choice (not necessarily the better choice).

Today's truth discussion

So here are my thoughts on Correspondent truth versus Coherent truth. I believe i favor the theory on truth as of correspondence because it is more realistic as to how the world actually is. Facts and evidence are easier to determine because there is visible evidence for it to be so. Though as we mentioned in class, we cannot be certain that what we visibly see is absolutely correct, and everything in the world in that sense could be questioned. But to me, the theory on coherent truth seems to be based all on belief. Coherence is claims that are believed to be true just because other claims say they are. The example of God existing because the Bible says he does really interested me. Not to take any sides on religion or say anything is made up but it is based on theory that God exists. The Bible has supposed evidence that has been around for a long time and is in God's own words. Who is to say it is or isn't true? We don't have any evidence other than the words that it in fact could be true. What if it was based on imagination? Philosophy is the study of knowledge and finding truth. How else to we find out things other than to ask what comes to our thoughts and imagination? Another thing that came to my mind during today's class discussion was people who hallucinate and are delusional. We assume they are crazy because they see things that we do not but second guessing what is and isn't true could make them completely normal and everyone else crazy. At least, thats how i saw it. So i guess my question is (and I dont't know if this makes sense) how do we confirm truth from the thoughts and questions that come from imagination according to the correspondence theory that the world is the way it is and the coherent truth being believed by other claims?
