...when we practice to deceive.
Rather than being deceitful, I like to think of this as "faking Emma out." When she asks for salt at the supper table we hand her the pepper mill. She shakes the top over her food (producing nothing) and she is satified. On the pro side she's not getting extra salt on her food. On the con side we are willfully misleading her. I'm thinking this is on the scale of the willful deceit of confirming the existence of Santa Claus. What do you think? How does this rate on the parental sin scale?
