   It's not a "perspective" it's what you said; "In fact, the big   
   picture I'm referring to lies at the core of Judaism, Islam,   
   Hinduism, Taoism, Buddhism, Monism, realism, idealism,   
   existentialism, naturalism, humanism, and atheism."

   Then just read your words. I quoted them above and it's still   
   above in context. And you did not "suggest" everyone was lying,   
   you made the claim everyone was. You claimed everyone, but you   
   and your pet beliefs, had lies at the core of their beliefs.

   Somehow, I doubt that.

   It seems you are confused.
