Nope, sorry, I'm sticking to this. I'm talking about lying to your children. Telling them that what is almost certainly untrue is the Big Truth. I'm not telling anyone whether they should be doing it or not. What I am saying is that honest people should see it for what it is. No-one is perfect when they're bringing up children. But there is a big difference between making human mistakes with them and deliberately misleading them. And it is deliberate (it's your choice) and it is misleading (telling them they don't need evidence). And it isn't just your business (those children go out one day into the bigger wider world). What the parents and teachers and religious leaders of the 9-11 killers told them was very much your business. Yep, a terrible example. But still an example. Those killers thought that myth was truth.
