Pretending to be something you're not, be it through omission, "30 seconds of closing your eyes", or talking to an imaginary friend in the sky for the "sake of your family" spits in the face of everything my family has ever taught me. We're honest to one another. This is complicated, and occasionally it's messy, but it's genuine. I respect my family as people and I respect their intelligence; Me trying to pat them on the hand and tell them I believe in fairy tales is a level of condescension I could never stoop to. Still, my parents aren't pathetically weak, nor do they adhere to illogical delusions, so I guess I just feel sorry for you if yours do.
