Important Debate Question

[Ksa]

Thank you all for the great replies. For a while I felt like I was crazy and couldn't word a sentence properly lol. My parents can make things sound pretty bad but I love them a lot.

I'm glad the family that matters to me is so diverse we've learned to respect our differences. I hope you two find a way to work through it, but if he can't figure out how to act like an adult I wouldn't expect anything to change anytime soon.

I decided after a couple of debates with my dad about god that I won't do it anymore. I think it is better to just show him respect and not bring the subject up.

They are calling me onto it. Like, my mother found a YouTube video of a scientist talking about the Earth and God and invited everyone for a family discussion following the video. My mom also asked me to download movies with Jesus Christ. So they regularly bring up the subject, a lot more than me.

If I try to dodge the subject and not talk about it, they blame me for not having an opinion, saying only morons don't have opinions. If I keep quiet, they tell me how my Dexedrine medication I take for my ADD is destroying my personality and my life in general. So far my parents have laid over 10 diagnosis on me, including depression and schizophrenia. Telling them that my serotonin is high and I never had psychosis symptoms is regarded as defensive behavior "Your grandpa defended his bottle his entire life too, I guess you're walking in his footsteps."

You get the picture lol.

Since that's the case there's only one thing to do. Say "show me god or he doesn't exist". Anything they utter you keep saying I still don't see him. I would go so far as to look up and say "god if you exist, please strike me dead where I stand". When he doesn't do it tell your parents that you still don't see him.

You and your dad were debating an assertion.....not an argument.

Correct, the assertion <God Exists> has never been supported.
