@JesusHChrist, Oddly enough my parents always taught my intellecual honesty. Regardless of their beliefs they wanted me to think for myself. Hence they NEVER supressed evolution, science or anything. In fact my father always taught me that science and faith can go hand and hand. Beyond my own doubts, it is refreshing that they are not like "other" preacher's families. I already had my doubts, however it was a hard choice to make.
It is not cowardly, it is called compassion. It is one thing to blast the claims of someone who is not ill, but all of us will die, some suddenly with no time and others long and protracted knowing it will happen. Compassion and empathy are why you wont make it an issue.
