Should Lies be Confronted?
Considering the damage lies have done throughout history, do we have a moral duty to attempt to expose them? What if doing so puts us in harms way? And can we always be certain that something is a lie? For example, many countries (particularly Islamic ones) have anti-blasphemy laws. If we believe their religion to be a falsehood, and we know it's responsible for millions of deaths, do we have a duty to oppose it? Supposing we are wrong, and something is in fact true, even though there is severe punishment for questioning it?
To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.
