What would you have me do to start a good-faith converstion?
For me, that would be sound arguments.
If you bring religion into a discussion, that has several issues. One of them is bringing the fallacy of appeal to authority to the table. For sound arguments one needs to avoid fallacies and one needs true premises.
In case that helps you, I am not angry with you and I believe you had a problem and faith helped you overcome that problem. But this does not mean that everyone has the same basic problem or that the same solution would be helpful. Or that people like hearing you talk like it were so.
And I rather would like you having strength because of faith and not because of literal things that are written in the Bible or were misquoted, reinterpreted or otherwise used for centuries to tell people lies. Learning how the story of Tamar was perverted into a tale against masturbation was very enlightening.
