It's too bad you guys haven't figured out reasoning with these people is nearly pointless. There's not much you can do to shake them out of their box. You don't shoot for convincing the people that would never want to hear the message. You have to just wish them the best. The ones worth confronting and conversing with are the ones that are on the fence.
You're not going to drain an ocean or fit a baseball in to a garden hose. Pick an achievable goal and go from there. Moving mountains isn't the fate of a mortal.
