How do you deal with fanatics? People that don't stop talking about and or trying to convert/teach wisdom from whatever belief, no matter how much you ask them to stop, 1. Strangers, 2. Family.

I have no issues with people believing whatever it is they believe, just running low on patience with the broken records that turn off their ears and won't stop when asked.

Punching usually works.

Saying that I have to go to the bathroom has always been a conversation stopper.

This is the only place I deal with fanatics.

IRL, I simply stay away from them.

The root of "fanatic" is, of course, "fan".

You can inspire people to believe by your own example. Mind f them isnt working at all.

Nah, it’s all down to punching.

I don't. I establish boundaries and if they aren't respected, I don't need them in my life. Life's too short for me to do otherwise.

I fart in their general direction.

Although, ocassionaly, it requires a shart.
