65. I have lots and lots in my family...
I try to avoid diascussing the big three controversial topics:

politics
religion
sex

I have pretty good success with saying that "gentlemen don't discuss such matters out of respect for other's opinions and beliefs."

But my grandfather especially is a fundie with a third grade education (I'm serious, he dropped out before finishing fourth grade). He always brings up jeebus and how every non-Southern Baptist is definitely going to hell. You can't really explain anything to him since he is

old
dumb
argumentative
self-righteous

If you need something they have, do what I do. Manipulate them for money or favors...you're obviously smarter than them. It's easy and fun. :D
