His point is that rational argument is not the most convincing rhetorical strategy when conversing with the faithful or conservative, not that one side is right and the other side is wrong. I recognize that me bringing this up to you is just me wasting my time; you are still "pure" and still refuse rational argument. Your every rhetorical gambit comes from a place of "ours is the one true blood" you've just foresworn your birthright. So we'll keep talking past each other because you've chosen a weird demographic: those who fundamentally believe fundamentalists are evil and are utterly incapable of rational discussion about rational discussion.
