  - Hello - 
		  I told pops that I would write something to close or at least try to resolve any misunderstanding.
  - One thing that’s clear to me, and obvious to all, is that I got pretty raged in the middle of a general discussion. This was shocking and sort of unwarranted. And reflecting on it, I can say not really needed. Do I need to get really angry to put my point across? No. This created a bad atmosphere. For this I’m sorry.
  - But it what it is. I did not plan this. What happened was as natural and as authentic it can be. I genuinely think it would be worse if I had absorbed or had hidden my frustration. I don’t like to hold resentment in my heart. So this bites me in life at times. But I prefer to live like this.
		  I’m open to discussing and understanding. Because if the perspective is that - you said something seemingly benign - I got very angry unwarranted- then the case is already closed. Judgment is already made. Things are not that simple.
  - I’ll write and reflect more on this tomorrow or later tonight. I don’t have any great insights or logic to prove who was rigth or wrong. It’s also hard to articulate few things without shared understanding.
  - Not once have anyone tried to probe or dig with me into why a question about belief of god get this reaction out of me. Why would I find it so insulting to blast out of a conversation? 
		  It surprises me we don’t care to find out. Maybe because we take things for granted.
		  I’ll share this video of Jordan Peterson who I think articulates this well. It resonates with me. And that’s exactly - sort of - how I felt. My anger was on the crude ignorance and hypocritical confidence on this question. Not saying my retort and back hand verbal punch was justified. But I’m hoping you can see a perspective.
