To get back on topic, I always enjoy Paul's counsel not to get involved in foolish arguments:

From 2 Tim 2:14-17 - "Keep reminding them of these things. Warn them before God against quarreling about words; it is of no value, and only ruins those who listen. ... Avoid godless chatter, because those who indulge in it will become more and more ungodly. Their teaching will spread like gangrene."

In contrast, Paul gives us an idea what we _should_ focus on and talk about in Galations 5:22-23 - "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. " Holy cow, imagine what your day-to-day life would be like if everyone around you could hold to these few ideals. Imagine if I could start that process, living my life by these ideals! Jeez, it'd be like heaven on earth! (tongue at least slightly in cheek.)
