Decades ago I read a book about Reasoning the Scripture with other religions. And the biggest takeaway was not to club people with facts or verses but lead them down a path by giving them thought provoking questions that are not easily answered.
Like when people insist that building 7 collapse due to fire. Statement/questions like - "There are plenty of building that catch fire all the time. Do those buildings collapse in on themselves? Are those three flats in Chicago built to better building standards that a multi storey commercial building?"

Correct but difficult to do. When people are so far in the dark of reality one figures it's quicker to give them the info than to make them think it out. Human defect I guess. I will try better at asking thought provoking questions.Cognitive dissonance is a tough thing to battle.
