BTW Jay, if I messed up something when fixing your post, don't hesitate to point it out to me Smile
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

I guess I am just selfishly looking for confirmation that my arguments/responses were sound... And looking for critiques on how I could improve/make a better argument. But like most have said, deaf ears.

I did not read the whole post.

But I can tell you that I have some different views from my mum, not on religion but on politics.
I can talk with her forever, and tell her time and time again how her views annoy me, but she has her mind made up.
For a long time we had the same discussion, and I am sure she was just as annoyed with me as I was with her.

It is easier to just not talk about the subject entirely. Your dad now knows how you think about this so let it go.
Also, people need time, maybe he will turn around later. Maybe not. Just let him be.
