How to avoid an argument?

Every time my brother and I get together it always leads to arguments. He's a rabid liberal unbeliever who repeatedly tries to find a way to pick a fight with me. I prayed, gave him the Gospel and left it at that. I've also tried sitting silent while he rants about this or that and that and prayed. I've also sat down and hashed out his arguments using logic to show him just how silly and inconsistent his world view is [thank the Lord for Clark, VanTil, Robbins and Bahnsen] but he keeps reading new liberal fascist literature to find new things to argue about.

How can I avoid arguments of this nature with an unbeliever I'm related to? I've asked before but I thought I'd repost after my last battle. [ ]

Conscience may lash us, but it cannot replenish a languishing life. Conscience may be God's word and minister to you, telling you of your faults and your follies and your destitution. It may point out, but it will never supply you. Christ must give you new life. Hart has well expressed it: "He to the feeble and the faint, His mighty aid makes known; and when their languid life is spent, supplies it with His own." - J. K. Popham
