is being delivered which draws in strong negative response in this forum. Be as it is, perhaps we can learn some few tips from different faiths.
Muslims start with a phrase "Peace be with you"
Christians end with a phrase "God bless you"
In between we may learn from some devout catholics or Buddist how they express their views.
Agree? Or do I miss something else?
God bless you.

In my experience, it is not often the delivery alone that brings a negative response. It is more frequently the predispositin of one of the proponents to provoke someone. Anyone.
With a predisposition like that, you are bound to succeed!

I bring in texts and understandings from my faith when they are relevant to the question.
I try to be respectful of the beliefs of others and not to presume a particular theological position on anyone else.
Essentially, although I certainly will talk about the positions my religious beliefs take me to, I don't view this as a forum for converting you to my faith. However, if anyone wants to ask me more, my "contact" link is active; you can send me an email.

I think the local atheists and agnostics might bristle at your sign-off phrase.
