HELLo Ali Quadir! 
Welcome back my friend.
Richard- Wow! Those must be colorful discussions indeed. I suppose it's a good opportunity for us to practice being humble and respectful towards others' belief systems, no matter how far off from the truth they may be. Also possibly a good opportunity to practice empathy, your brother must suffer a lot internally over the thought about you going to some firey afterlife. I remember when I was really young and still Christian, learning that my cousins were atheists and feeling so, so sad inside.
