Good for you, Jayson:) That's very inspirational. As far as people getting "blasted", happens all the time on CZ. People get very passionate about what they believe or choose not to believe.
As far as going off-topic, that happens all the time here as well. It's just that UT is something that a lot of folks can't accept, it's really counterintuitive. I liken it to having had to learn to lean forward when I learned to ski.
