You are mixing up true -false with truth - lie.
If you really believe the sky is green , and you tell me so, then you're not lying.
It's an opinion, it is your truth.
Doesn't necessarily have to match my opinion.

Check the word "perception" if you wanna know more.

Of course it was. All the explorers who believed it was flat eventually fell over the edge, leaving only the roundies. The world, like the Universe, is created by a consensus of the daft, that's why it's such a bloody mess

People are individuals and they believe in different things God is one of them, and no I would not call you a liar, you have the right to your own opinion. But at the same time I will ask if you also believe that God created the world we live in, cause that's a bit harder to swallow.

That is a central part of the Christian understanding of 'god'. He is the creator.

Yes, that he's a "seperate entity" existing above and beyond us, his creations, which is where the whole idea goes down the tubes.

I disagree, the 'flavours' differ strongly, from Paganism to Christianity, Islam to Hinduism.
What they have all in common is the belief in intelligent 'godly'
