Maybe assuming you are the only one with reason in a conversation is the problem. You don't have to agree with someone to understand their point of view or reasoning.

Its definitely easier to ban or block if all you want is a circle jerk though.

There is no debating with people that believe in mythology as real life. Who says there is a lake of fire I'll go to because I'm queer, who vote for someone their religion says is the anti-christ. Blocking is just avoiding stepping in shit.

One could spend the enegry to spin their own beliefs to demostrate their contradictions... but their cognitive dissonance will cause them to just dig deeper to maintain their world view... people have to have an open mind before any rational debates can be made.

Yup, you can't reason a person out of a position they didn't reason themselves into
