Well, reason, logic and evidence doesn't work. I don't know what else to try.
Now THAT is a worthy thread!
Bear in mind though that many of the Christians you talk to are the "resistant strains", the theological equivalent of mrsa. Lots of Christians, have wobbled or fallen through it. I certainly have.
But if logic is penicillin then mockery is bloodletting! It aggravates the infection.
To stretch the analogy, we swab for culture and sensitivity to see what works. Perhaps some form of subtyping and targeting?
