If you really are as rational as you say (or think) you are, you'd know that perception is very important when determining how to respond to people.
If your end goal is actually to start a conversation and connect with people, then your first impression being one in which you call everyone stupid or ignorant isn't a wise or rational move. Deep conversations don't generally happen with strangers, especially not rude ones.
We're more than happy to talk with you, but most of us need some time to figure out who you are before we join in on private conversations. Join in the forums; the philosophy section is probably suited to your tastes. Maybe you'll find some stimulating conversation there.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
