Well, I have dealt with lying.
As to starting a war, that may or may not be a crime. Given the rap sheet that God is compiling, there is an argument that this was justified.
The breaking with the truth was huge, that break caused all the death and
destruction, and all the fall out where people now lost their connection with
God and each other, so our focus in life isn't any longer on the love of
either, but instead selfish desires. Adam and Eve were running around
naked without any fear or shame due to their innocence, this wouldn’t and
couldn’t be the norm if there were issues with lust and shame which they
lost due to the lie and their actions after it.
I have not seen you deal with lying, I have seen someone say that isn't a
crime (it may have been you), which is not true! No one can lie under
oath, and it isn't any different in life in God’s kingdom at all times, period!
All of us are going to give an account for each and every word we speak.
This giving an account means we will owe God an account towards our
actions, this thread is a presumptuous judgment against God is arrogance
in the highest, but I do believe that God will on judgment day allow
everyone's actions including His own to be seen for what they were,
including our words in secret, our motivations in all things.
Just as God setup the laws of physics, He setup all the laws for human
behavior, a fallout of bad human behavior will result in outcomes that are
not going to be good for the lives effected just as when you grab a hot
iron with your hand, you will be burned.
