Oh, I’ve tried that, believe me. They just say things like “I just feel it’s true” and try and change the subject immediately. Then they get mad at me for making them uncomfortable by asking them to explain their own beliefs. They’ve literally sat down and lectured me that the fact that I got a college education and learned how to critically evaluate ideas means that it’s inherently disrespectful and elitist for me to question why they believe what they do.
