Look, no apology needed. My personal experience through some years of intense debating, has really made me tired of debates which turn into heated arguments.
My suggestion is, you ask a question. I just don't have time to write all of my views. Be specific and take your time in understanding the answer. Think of it as an interview, its not a debate. Because if you want a debate there are many others who may oblige you but I won't.
Things I don't want to waste my time with:
1. You telling me, my faith is bad because someone did something. I am not interested in that so don't bother.
2. You telling me I am being dishonest. Which would just mean, end of our conversation.
3. You telling me that you are under no obligation to answer me on what you claim, on my occasional question back to you.
Things I expect:
1. A lack of overconfidence. e.g
Science has destroyed faith...total bollocks! reeks of overconfidence.
2. A lack of stereotypes. e.g christians use dishonest tactics. christians must be deluded etc. If thats the case you have come to the wrong place and this already, is clearly a mistake.
3. You ask, I reply. You take it or leave it.
If you are up, let me know. I also want to communicate with you but with the extra baggage of assumptions and stereotypes my ego stops me from engaging.

It would be a blessing if they missed the cairns and got lost on the way back. Or if
the Thing on the ice got them tonight.
I could only turn and stare in horror at the chief surgeon.
Death by starvation is a terrible thing, Goodsir, continued Stanley.
And with that we went below to the flame-flickering Darkness of the lower deck
and to a cold almost the equal of the Dante-esque Ninth Circle Arctic Night
without.
