Unless you are involved in "romantic" relationships that go against your nature for the sake of keeping appearances, are you really living a lie?

You really are someone who loves God and seeks to follow him as best you can, are you not? If that is also the image you project, then what is the lie? You aren't claiming to be free from temptation are you? Everyone assumes you face temptations just like they do, do they not? Then what's the lie?
