Think about it. If a God created the universe and everything that could be possible within it, then that God made it possible to lie because they created the very concept of lying and being capable of it. The universe could have been designed in such a way that lying and deception was impossible. So God (whatever God you believe created all of this) is the one that created lies.This forum's own Mr. Jackson has very helpfully established that patriarchs invented Truth to cement their position. Kudos indeed to Andrew and Stonewall's spiritual descendant and namesake. (Pause for applause to die.)
This invites the question, then, of who invented the Lie. Or simply lies in general. Jesus has deposed that Satan is the "father of lies," but since the witness' Father is involved,such testimony cannot be taken at face value. Who then, I ask again, invented the lie? My humility enjoins silence. The floor is open.
The programmer is responsible for all the code they wrote.
On another note, it could be that lying is possible because that God made a mistake and left out some code before "compiling". If you "write code" for self aware and intelligent beings, but you don't write any code to prevent them from doing something, they'll probably do it if it benefits them. Still means you created it though since you coded everything.
So a more fitting question would be - "Who was the first person to lie?", since whoever or whatever created the universe would be the creator of everything by default.
