13. Find something that you both agree on.
I'm sure that you all agree that you love your children and want the best for them. Now, ask them how they would feel if the devil wanted their child? Would it be all right with them if the devil dressed like Jesus Christ? Okay, you know where I am going with this. Lead them through it gently. Don't accuse them of being wrong or stupid. What you want to do is open their eyes, not wack them with a liberal two by four.
