On several cases, I've had discussions on religion, not personal faith, to people of different denominations besides Roman Catholic which almost always ends up to arguments and individual tirades.

Of course which is why it is sage advice NOT to talk about religion with others. I also pretty much avoid the topic of politics in public for the same reason. You almost always end up in arguements that go nowhere.

I don't do it much at all, but I should do it more. My theory is, "plant a seed and walk away." Religion has to do with foundational truths, so I believe that real dialog can bear fruit.

OTOH, politics regards the world of prudence and compromise. So when political arguments arise, I like to try to push the arguments back to first principles, to at least make people aware of their own principles.
