Joe is right, and if you are ever to have any kind of conversation with these people you have to understand how they think. Trust me, I am related to some. Telling them to bugger off is an option, but not one I want to use with family. The difficult in conversation is their unshakeable belief that their opinions are put there by God. "God wants you ........", no its you who want that, not God. God becomes an excuse for unreasonable opinions.
