Perhaps the lack of response has to do with the tone and mood you have set. "to those who harp on religion" itself is negative. Perhaps people are tired of you constantly referring to others as "haters". You attempt to initiate debate then move quickly to debasement. So before you rant about others having nothing positive to share perhaps it has more to do with the negatity you project.
Nothing to do with so called "haters" and more to do with the op:
...In other words, don't invite folks to come to 'your' house to step in heaps of dogtihs as a means of recreation, then get upset when they track it all around the floors.
And that's cool. Believe you, me.But every time I come on this here site I read someone bashing my Christian faith....And regardless of what these folks say, they can never in a million years get me to change my mind about the Lord in which I firmly believe in.
Exactly. One thing about me is that I love teaching basic math do I usually am thinking numbers. I typically read the index of each forum late night then early morning and look for then identify patterns. Living on the west coast the mood here is usually set by the time I have read and am ready to post.
I notice the same people who create these types of threads, who complain about haters, who bring their religion as a chip on their shoulder to every discussion do so to bait and mock others, then cry foul and accuse folks of being haters, cowards, homos, etc ignore them.
I notice how some people will post streams of videos to move threads from view then bump their own and their like minded even if they are not friends. And this pattern is consistent.
