Is Lying Bad

This is a difficult argument – is it bad to lie? I think that the consequence of the lie is relevant. If you tell a small white lie that hurts no one and has no detrimental effect on anything, but may in fact save someone’s feeling, this is not bad. If you tell a great big whopper, like being unfaithful for example, the effect of this if ever discovered would be devastating and is therefore bad.

I try to never lie to my kids but they do it to me all the time. I don't feel that children need to be taught how to lie, it just seems to come naturally. I found a website that agrees with me http://webhome.idirect.com/~readon/lies.html

On another childish note have a look at this image
