Inuzuka Skysword

My dad is a Calvinist yet he watches it. My family is a bit weird in that way. My dad's side loves to debate and they generally love politics even if it disagrees with their side. I am sort of the same way. I hate CNN a lot yet that is the one news station I like to watch. It gets boring just hearing something from your own view.

My dad also thinks some of his stuff is pretty funny, which Bill Maher is funny.

Also while my dad is religious, he doesn't believe in all the speaking in tongues stuff. He is just a Baptist and sort of self-righteous in that way. He doesn't believe in all the spiritual healings and he hates Christian music. I mean, my dad lets me read Nietzsche, Sartre, and all that stuff despite its atheist roots so he isn't a total cook. Of course, I don't tell him I am an atheist because I expect he will either have a heart attack or keep me from going to a non-religious college. I sort of have to make up religious stances I don't believe in and defend them. According to him, I would be much more of a "liberal" Christian in that I am not against *** marriage or abortion. His whole side of the family pretty much is trying to sway me at every family gathering. My uncle even gave me a book that attacks the Emerging Church, something I don't even claim to follow. My outlook is that helping people is much more important than telling people about Jesus, so to him that is very similar. They were also very offended when my cousin danced at her wedding to "Imagine" by John Lennon. This was her rebellion according to them.

It is really sad, but at the same time my family is really funny like that. It is so weird I just have to laugh.
