I am soo fucking annoyed.

So, I got my courage up, did a good thing, and made a certain peace and reestablishment of relations with my father.

I still think it's a good thing.

But, when he calls me out of the blue and manages to bait me into an arguement over Gay marriage and separation of church and state, that's not cool. Especially if I give him a ton of opportunities to abort this conversation.

I guess I should have dodged the conversation. I should have bowed out and been quiet. But I'm too old and too tired of that kind of bullshit. I wasn't going to lie, but I was willing to have a rational conversation.

That wasn't in the cards apparently. Instead I was told to "read the Constitution", which I have, and "if you'd studied history", which I also have, etc., etc. Even after saying I'm really uncomfortable with this conversation, and getting kind of angry about it, I was still talked down to with a combination of historical inaccuracies and oversimplifications that I really didn't need to deal with.

Let's face it, very few people actually want to have a rational discussion on issues, and even less will ever change their minds, so it's kinda pointless to argue over politics I've discovered over the years. Especially with any family.

I really wasn't expecting for that to be the topic of conversation, and didn't do a good enough job of deflecting it, and instead got caught up in it and pissed off by it.

I'm still pissed off by it.

I guess it's good in a way that we can have a normal enough conversation to have a regular old disobiediant opposite politics father-son arugment.

I guess.
