"In no way, shape or form does Jesus Christ condone, recommend, encourage, or otherwise sanction lying to our children."

In the process of divine pedagogy God chose to mete His plan to mankind only to the extent we were ready to understand and accept it. Are you saying that as parents and teachers emulating that pedagogical process a sin?

Peace be with you

Well I'll give you credit...that's the fanciest way I've ever heard to ask the question: Is telling our kids myths and stories about a fat man who lives at the North Pole, has flying reindeer and employs elves to build toys a sin? :-)

I would say it is. But it's a sin that's no worse or no better than sins I commit. It's a sin that can be repented of very easily if one doesn't think that conforming to our current culture and society are more important than the commandments of God.
