Obama knows that Jesus refers to the Devil as the father of lies. Paul commands Christians "Do not lie to one another”. God (Allah), knows the secrets of all peoples hearts and when somebody lies. The lie will be destroyed by the truth. Liars will be called to account on the Day of Judgment. Under some circumstances, discovery of a lie may discredit other statements by the same speaker and can lead to social or legal sanctions against the speaker, such as ostracizing or conviction for perjury. When a lie is discovered, the state of mind and behavior of the lie teller (liar) is no longer predictable.
