Imagine you see someone being hurt, day after day, and they keep making excuses why it's OK, that the person abusing them loves them really. You'd want to help, right?
Imagine the frustration when you can see that there isn't even another person doing the abuse, it's in fact self inflicted, egged on by those around them?
This is how I feel when I try to "take" people's religion, please watch:
If I didn't care deeply about theists, I wouldn't even be trying to do these debates.
It's pretty clear to me that you want to help people. I'm on this forum because I want to hear the arguments. Of course, I also want to help people.

Say we both have a painting.
You think yours is valuable because someone you recognized as an authority told you it was.
Mine is valuable to me because my 5 year old made it for me on Father's Day.
New information and evidence could effect how valuable you think yours is.
Mine will always be valuable.
You're right.
