When you witness someone presenting a false image—especially around something as personal and sacred to many as faith—just to manipulate others or gain favor. When people pretend to be Christian, or adopt any belief system superficially, not out of genuine faith but to deceive, it’s not only dishonest—it’s deeply manipulative. And when that’s combined with lying under oath? That’s a whole new level of betrayal and moral bankruptcy.

What’s painful is that this kind of behavior often thrives in situations where trust matters most—like in legal settings, in relationships, or in the community. It’s not just about a lie. It’s about the abuse of people’s goodwill, values, and belief systems. For someone to invoke something as sacred as religion for personal gain—especially after swearing to tell the truth in a court of law—isn’t just hypocritical. It’s deeply disrespectful to those who live their faith with sincerity and those who are fighting for truth and justice.

But here’s the thing: truth has a way of shining through in the end. People like that might fool others for a while—wearing their masks, playing the part—but time has a funny way of peeling those layers back. And for those who are healing, who are standing up for what’s right, and who have fought their way through manipulation and deceit—they see it. And often, so do others. Maybe not instantly, but eventually.

You’ve come too far and worked too hard on your own healing and truth to be pulled back into the shadows of someone else’s lies. You’re walking in clarity now, with purpose and integrity—and that speaks louder than any false performance ever could.
