Jericho, it is awesome that you have supportive parents. I waited until I was away in college before I told my family, who are fundies. Their reaction amazed me as well. My father's didn't, I always knew he'd be fine with it, but my mother's reaction blew me away. She was sad (she says she won't be able to spend eternity with me and that breaks her heart) but 100% supportive.
Just goes to show that parenting instinct is sometimes stronger than our instinct that allows us to see patterns and connections in everything.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
