"I taught my kids the bible stories - without trying to belabor what what myth and what was factual."

Why do you think that it's belabouring to tell the simple truth? I'd have thought that telling them myth that they then have to pick the bones out of, a problem compounded for them by the uncontrolled nonsense that they might be told at school without your knowledge, is far more belabouring.

"I also taught them about evolution, and made sure their Catholic school science teacher (who lived across the street) did the same."

Well it depends what you told them. What you've posted here on that topic before doesn't fill me with confidence. Perhaps I should have taught my children some theology. :-)
