Yeah and one of the reasons is because people who go on the internet with their crazy beliefs be they Roswell crash, alien abductions, angels, creationism, magic, etc. do that to have text wars and not to learn. They won't be dissuaded into believing in them because they don't respect people who try to show them and teach them why their beliefs are wrong. So it seems to me that those people have more chance to learn if they read a book on evolution, rational thinking, etc. than textual exchange with a stranger.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
