The reason you get on with some other Christians (not all, I've seen some very serious Randy squabbling with Christians) is because you have something in common.
The problem arises when you're talking to people who don't believe a word of it and refuse to say "Oh, you're so wonderful, Randy, I'll buy the car religion right now," no matter how much copying and pasting, no matter how much foot-stamping.
I know that it's difficult to get your head around, Randy, but you do really need to establish what you're saying and that isn't done by repetition/boring people. Nobody has to 'rebut' your house of cards collections of 'evidence', it isn't some kind of failure on our part that we don't take them seriously.
I really do think you need to ask yourself whether the approach you're talking is vaguely viable.

The gods did not reveal, from the beginning,
All things to us, but in the course of time
Through seeking we may learn and know things better.
These things are, we conjecture, like the truth.
But as for certain truth, no man has known it,
Nor shall he know it, neither of the gods
Nor yet of all the things of which I speak.
And even if by chance he were to utter
The final truth, he would himself not know it:
For all is but a woven web of guesses.
Xenophanes
