Eventually, if you care about the person (is that a mistake?) you are reduced to say comments like "can you at lease see or understand what I mean?".

Ever see that video on You Tube where these Mormon scolars and DNA researchers are almost in tears saying "on the one hand I believed in Mormonims with all my heart and on the other hand I knew without a doubt that it could not be true...
