It's the intellectual dishonesty in missionary proselytizing that's incompatible with a discussion forum. It's clear that posters like Revelaton777 aren't interested in discussion of any sort: When objections are raised, they simply switch topics and tactics.
That's not discussion, not debate, it's catechism. This is a discussion forum.
As a newbie, I would think warnings to stay on topic followed by banning those who refuse discussion would encourage debate, instead of Gish Galloping.
