How to Convince People Without Being Insulting

I just joined, and enjoy reading the forum, for the most part. I gotta tell ya, though, what's the thing with being so rude? Geesch. I was looking forward to discussion of different religious and non-religious viewpoints, but what I'm finding is a lots of insulting remarks on intelligence, like pissing contests.

Personally, I want to know WHY someone believes how they believe. If they're religious, then why? If not, they why?

I guess I thought there would be more discussion back/forth rather than divisiveness.

How do you think about this? Why?
