Well, then I have to say that while you are exceptionally inept at polemics, you are a pretty good cheerleader.
Thanks for your damnation through faint praise. Though sometimes inarticulate, thanks to Nichiren's instructions in polemics, several dozens or more have come to chant Namu Myoho renge kyo.
If this were a competition, I'd say that you are pretty far behind in the game in terms of numbers. But it's not a competition.
35,000.000 people chant Namu Myoho renge kyo
I am sure it has positive effect in their life.
You made it a "competiiton" (debate) through your damning faint praise which the Lotus Sutra teaches is another type of slander of its votaries.

You know what they say, "heaven for the climate, hell for the company."

causing one to fall into the ocean of samsāra."

If we are to believe Nichiren and the Lotus Sutra, even though you proffer such truths as, "I am sure it has positive effect in their life", slandering a votary of the Lotus Sutra, even merely exposing his or her faults, is a grave offense that unless met with sincere repentence, will lead to Hell for the company.
