    Burgy,

    I think your logic is flawed. You wrote:

    This seems to imply that God can do anything that might mislead us and it is
    ok so long as we believe he is honest. Thus to follow that line of logic one
    would have to believe that it is not dishonest for the car salesman to
    claim that he hadn't lied when he said that the car had wheels. It did. He
    just failed to mention that the car had no tires. After all, we are dealing
    with an honest car salesman here who didn't actually mislead us. We simply
    misunderstood him.
