That is what we're here for. If your parents put some god before you, saying you might have to do without because they need to pray or give tithes or whatever, I feel for you. I was lucky to not have fundie parents.
I'm pretty sure this isn't at all what the priest was insinuating a parent should do, but I think you know that.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
