Excellent work. I must admit you are a better person than me.
I have had siblings block my emails, hide my FB statuses and I finally realized that it was like trying to convert someone's religious beliefs. Most of these folks base their beliefs purely on faith.

Faith is beyond reason.

Faith is immune to critical thinking.

Faith is believing that no matter what, I believe what I believe and nothing you say will change that.

Faith is dangerous.
