So if you are not honest with them then you disrespect them and your claim of love for them is bogus. To live behind a lie will only make them feel like failures, is that what you want for them, they will believe that nothing they taught you was important to you, and thus they will believe they are not important to you. You know how they feel about moral values, are you going to throw them in the face of your parents, they will find out one day and this will be the result and you know it, so do what you please, but do not act surprised when they tell you what has be written here. I'm a deeply committed christian and I understand what they believe, why, because we worship the same loving God you have rejected.
Nonsense. Clearly, they believe in honesty only as far as it matches up to their version of the truth. In fact, it is only as long as he is staying behind in a lie that they won't feel like failures.
