    I think one reason they lie to others is that they have been conditioned to lie to themselves without realizing it, what Orwell called "doublethink". They don't realize that they're doing it; they think they are telling you "The Truth" as they were taught it.

    "Forgive them, Father, for they know not what they do."

    I think Tirebiter hit the nail on the head.
