arrogance and inclusivity

An old friend of mine with whom i share membership in a study group posed a question that comes up often in different guises: how do we hold to our faith in Jesus as the Messiah and as our Lord without making non-believers feel left-out or belittled or somehow of less value? (Of course, i really do feel that they are left out of some of the most wonderful experiences, which makes for me the question more what do we as followers of Christ experience that others do not?)

But certainly in the present modern or post-modern international-traded world, where anyone with access to a computer can set himself up as some sort of spiritual guru (see, even i have two web sites!), this question becomes one we should be facing more frequently than ever.

How would you answer?
