Personally, when others spout their nonsensical beliefs I would question them in a nonconfrontational way. For example, you could say something like, "I don't understand this. You say that God loves us, but he allows babies to be born with awful birth defects." When they give a lame-ass excuse, you then say, "I don't understand that either. Why would a being that loves us allow a child to be born with severe cerbral palsy?" And so on.... I would try to make them defend the most absurd things about what they believe by simply asking innocent sounding questions. If you continue with this tactic long enough they'll eventually have to give up because they have no sound basis for their irrational beliefs.
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
