When you start explaining them how something in their faith/ religion doesn't make sense they quickly start diverting conversation on you personally, usually by writing personal insults at you. Or start writing about something completely off topic and usually conspiracies and more precisely the Moon landing.
And this is something that I noticed use theists who take their scripture more literally (aka creationists) and this is something that I deal mostly with theists outside this forum.
While those theists that like to see themselves as more "sophisticated" aren't that much better. While they don't go on you personally that much, they also use usual fallacies to avoid talking about the subject and/ or completely ignore when you show their beliefs to be absurd.
And when they're totally beaten down, they pull the "feelings" card: how God is all about feelings.
Different strategies depending on different personalities man. A lot of theists who come here are dicks and trolls. But there have been a couple of theists who were quite respectful in their debates.
