Don't Take Me Seriously

I mean, if it's a healthy debate I can keep my calm. But when they use argumentum ad nauseam (repeating the question 50 times even though I have answered it and showed their contradictions and fallacies) I just get really angry and start rambling furiously at how annoying and close-minded and ignorant the person is.
Or when someone uses deceit to convince someone. I attend a church group, which is mostly about spiritual growth and sharing experiences. Nothing wrong with that. But every so often a priest comes, and I seethe in silence while the priest utters lies, fallacies, and contradictions, one after another. Occassionally I snap.
Or when someone tries to convince someone of something morally wrong, just because their religion says so, eg teaching that homosexuals are bad, using condoms is wrong, etc. I have sometimes argued quite loudly in restaurants because I get angry.
It's happening more often recently. I still want to join the church group because I want to hang out with my friends, but if this keeps going on then it might ruin the atmosphere.
Though I'm waiting for the day one of the intolerant extremists in the group challenges me... I will make sure to beat him down mercilessly with logic.
I'm not arguing against a belief in God, btw. I just get angry when people spread lies and evil through religion.
