Seriously, I think much more lofty thoughts when I'm in the shower or walking alone. But right now, I cannot remember them. So... Deal with it. It's long; read it if you want.

I'm thinking that the only way to argue someones political ideology is to attack their beliefs from the very core and point out the inherent hypocrisys or falsities. I came to this thought when I was arguing against a hearty Christian in my head, and took to pointing out to myself that the studies Christians cite on homosexuality are thoroughly flawed. But then I thought, hey, it's not the study my Christian self bases its beliefs on. I (being my Christian self) only use the study as a tool. So, if my gay self says that the study is flawed, I'm only taking away or chipping at one of the tools my Christian self possesses. In order for my gay self to convince my Christian self that he's being silly, my gay self has to either take away the whole tool belt or eliminate the need for the tool belt to be used. And since new tools can always be bought or improvised, my gay self has to tke away the need for the tool. So my gay self has to either get rid of homosexuals, or make them seem like something that does not need to be fixed by the toolbelt of Christianity. Which would require outreach, conversation, examination, and compromise. Whoo... I need to stop talking to myself. Problems become analogies which become crazyy arguments in my head. I wonder if it's that Christian fellow in me that doesn't want me to drink...
