    Do you consider omissions of the truth (i.e., 'you didn't ask, so I didn't tell you.') lies?

    Yes. That is why oaths say "The truth, THE WHOLE TRUTH and nothing but the truth."

    Yeah, I think so because it's the intent behind it.

    Depends on the circumstances. Use accordingly.

    Maybe yes, maybe no. Is it a lie if I don't tell my wife I don't like something she's wearing even if she didn't ask?
