We just disagree on morality and the subjectivity of truth and human opinion (see Søren Kierkegaard's philosophy writings for more on this), that's all, no gymnastics required.

Don't worry, I'm aware that people can have different moral frameworks. I'm also totally comfortable saying that if "lying in order to enrich oneself at the expense of others" is not a solid indicator of "bad person" in your moral framework, then you're an asshole.

Note also that "asshole" has different connotations to different people. And yet... still a very useful descriptor to help isolate bad actors from the rest of society.
