Hey hun! I'm totally gonna back you up on the God loves you part, you know that. And I'm sorry to hear you had a lousy political 'debate' with your uncle. (In quotes just because debates are intellectual discourses, and aren't supposed to end with people saying 'I'm right because God says so and you're a bunch of hippies')
But you should perhaps try to be more careful. I see a lot of absolutes in here. 'Every Christian's a hypocrite,'(I'm part Christian, honey) 'Conservatives all try to impose their beliefs on you.' (Believe it or not, I know some who don't..)
Only a Sith deals in absolutes. I know it's easy to slip into them when the other side does (like your Uncle telling you that you have no morals because you're liberal) but you should realize that when you answer with generalizations like that, you're lowering yourself to that level, and you look just as bad.
I don't mean to lecture, especially since I haven't seen you in so long, I just was a little concerned by a few things, and thought I should voice my opinion. *hug* Miss you!
