The best answer one can give a foolish person?
"You're right."
That's what they want to hear, and it's all they will believe....

It is generally a waste of time to try to have a battle of wits with an unarmed person. Those who are convinced that they already know all there is to know about anything are impossible to talk to about anything.

Usually none. The Bible definition of a "fool" is someone who will not listen even when the evidence is presented. They reject understanding without even giving it any consideration. So any answer given to them is pointless.
That is why Jesus gave the commandment not to "cast your pearls before swine, because they will trample them and then turn on you."

Usually none. Or "thank you for your insight" or "...for your point of view"
My husband likes to say "I refuse to have a battle of wits with an unarmed person." :)

I would say, "thank you, you are proving the Bible true with your words, and I LOVE YOU."
Matthew Chapter 5:11 & 44
Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake.
But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you.

One they can understand...preferably written in crayon with lots of pretty little pictures.
Give him a balloon while you explain it to them...idiots love balloons.

Many times, it is to agree with them and let them be in peace. LOL.

no answer. A fool does not deserve an answer.
