Oh they'll share how they gained their faith, but that's not really the foundation, that's just the trigger. But if I questioned the actual foundation, the discussion usually didn't go far.

Well if one is tired of the "same deadbeat arguments", then just skip the thread, sheesh no one is forcing anyone to participate. And not every thread can be a goldmine.
On the other hand there was a couple of threads recently (the polygamy one and another one) where I thought there was a great deal of insight and excellent information and discussion. The thing is everyone has a different education and background, so there are some people here who I really look forward to their posts to just hear what they have to say, because their opinions are well thought out and very relevant.

I'll make sure all the people in the political and the science and the social issues threads apologize to you for harshing your mellow.
Really, there's room enough for light and serious discussion, it's not like there's a limited number of bits.
I don't know about you but my favorite times when I get together with family or friends is when there's a really interesting discussion, not when everyone brings a picture of a lolcat to share.
