I am with Questioner here. Is this an ongoing conversation you've been having or do you just want to 'help' them by forcing them to 'see the light'? Preachy people tend to cause me to ignore whatever they're saying, and I can't stand it when people I used to go to church with send me cards and letters telling me to come back so I can "be saved." In my humble opinion, unless you are asked to share your beliefs, your example is the best teaching tool you have to offer. (This works more than anyone realizes it does. People watch you ALL the time.) Of course, if you were asked about your beliefs, I'd say you did a pretty good job of explaining them.
