Does it matter that people lie on expense reports?
Which "sin" do you think is most often swept under the rug, as some "sins" have become bigger than others in today's society?

I don't know, Nancy. For fun, I have here are a couple of quotes from some wise folks regarding the notion of "sin" that I think are cool:
"Sin lies only in hurting other people unnecessarily. All other "sins" are invented nonsense. (Hurting yourself is not sinful--just stupid.)
[Robert A. Heinlein]
"I count religion but a childish toy, And hold there is no sin but ignorance."
[Christopher Marlowe, British playwright
(1564-1593), The Jew of Malta", 1590]
Now -- to address your question from the thread title: Yes it does matter that people lie on expense reports. When you are ordered to list expenses you had in the course of pursuing your job, it's necessary to be objective in your recording. That's the key right there -- if you are cheating on a job requirement, you put yourself in jeopardy of being discovered and disciplined. Certainly, if that happens, you have no one to blame but yourself.
