I'd appreciate you clarifying "eviscerate" here, if you mean you can convince them the earth is round then hooray - but there are some incredibly stubborn people out there so I really doubt your prowess... More likely I assume that by "eviscerate" you mean that you can walk away from the conversation feeling like it's impossible for a rational person to disagree with what you said - that's certainly a nice feeling for you but I strongly doubt you're having any significant impact on their beliefs.

Think like Marvin the Paranoid Android. It's not about your beliefs or emotions, but those of the person that you're talking to. Your goal isn't to feel good about yourself, but to be confident that they cannot feel good about their position in light of what's been brought up.
