Religious diaries are pointless (and you know it)

A few points:
Nobody is going to convince anyone else on this website that their belief system is wrong. So please stop trying.
Atheists don't know that there is no god. Christians and other theists don't know that there is a god. Agnostics don't know if we can or cannot know if there is a god. These are all
beliefs
, deeply personal and largely immutable. Your arguments based on reason to people who base their belief system on faith, in one form or another, are a humongous waste of pixels.
Atheists urging those who believe in God to believe in the Flying Spaghetti Monster instead are being demeaning, condescending, and overly simplistic. Christians who link to stories of other atheists who later converted to Christians are also being demeaning, condescending, and overly simplistic.
I come here to read about politics, not religion. I'm aware that religion influences politics, and I'm all for discussions of religion's influence of politics. But I don't really care to wade through diaries that affirm/deny my personal belief system, without regard for how this administration is screwing this country, or what the Democrats have to do to win our country back.
