And some "fools" now are looking for a reason to retaliate against you (possibly violently if they are mentally ill or programmed) if you question them or ridicule. Best to AVOID and not engage, imo.
I have truly always found the best way to deal with "fools" is to just pray for them and speak when prompted because it is God who gives knowledge and literally and figuratively opens the eyes of the blind...and sometimes we have to agree to disagree...especially in families that want to remain close in spite of differences of opinions...
I believe we need to guard our hearts and minds...Satan is wiley and very clever and is in the business of destroying people's heart, minds and souls...
Which is why we need to put on the full Armor of God...
This is right. God has awakened us and we have to put on his Armor and stand as beacons of truth for our families. Sometimes it gets hard but do not waver and trust in God.
some level of ridicule can work here, but you can't go overboard and it should be pretty based reasoning that no one can stand up to. There's ways to ridicule people who are being fools using this tactic, while not crossing the line into being a fool.
Facts can ridicule people after they have said something foolish, for example
but how do you deal with the fool....if you don't interact with him he continues to think he is right and spread his false beliefs?
The fool will think he is right and spread his beliefs no matter what you do. Don't waste your time.

This. When this becomes apparent…. Move on. I’m a planter…not a farmer. I can farm too however.
It is Much Better to be a Warrior in a Garden, than a Gardener in a War....

Matthew 7:6. Cast not your pearls before swine. While this is referring to the gospel, I believe it holds true to any of God's truth.
