You mean the argument that contained insults and ridicule directed at the father and his beliefs?

If I was the father, I tell my son to fuck off too. If the kid wants to debate, that's fine I'm open. But I'm not going to sit there and let him insult and ridicule me under the guise of reasoned argument or debate.

The father is demanding the son treat him with respect. The son needs to learn to do the same. Once they each give each other respect, a dialogue can happen.
You have this uncanny ability, Heywood, of ignoring everything except what you want to hear. You should get that looked at. It can't be good for your mental health.
Here is exactly where I explained why his criticism of his dad's beliefs were justified;

1. His dad is only willing to have a relationship with the OP if the OP becomes a Mormon again. It's blackmail.
2. His dad already indoctrinated him into something he now abhors at birth. You know, without his consent. And is now seeking to again.
