No Lies
Learn to distinguish true progress from false promises.
We live in an age where information moves faster than ever, but also one in which confusion, manipulation, and polarization are constantly growing. Many young people feel anxious because they sense that something does not fit between what they are taught and the reality they observe. The “No Lies” program seeks to develop critical thinking, social awareness, and the ability to discern in order to identify the signs of true human progress.
Some fundamental questions:
- Is everything oriented toward the common good?
- Are individual goals pursued without forgetting the rights of others?
- Are weapons, medicines, and wars no longer manufactured as tools to dominate the weak?
- Is terrorism and drug trafficking truly fought, instead of being used as political weapons?
- Do all people and countries have opportunities to grow?
- Are justice systems free from corruption?
- Has education become a universal right?

Exercising Leadership to Unite, Overcome Fear, and Set Goals for Sustained Progress

- We must understand when a church or congregation encourages people to postpone real solutions.
- We must understand when religious practice promotes conformity and prevents personal growth.

The False Concept That Violence and War Are Legitimate Means of Conquest and Purification

- Identity with the source of love must be the compass for life’s paths.
