How about something like: "So - the word of God can be trusted because it's in 'The Bible' which is a holy book and the bible can be trusted because it's the word of God?...But isn't that kind of a circular argument with no real support from either the bible or this so-called "God" that you speak of and presumably genuinely believe in?"
Something like that?
The only answer I can think of them giving is the very obvious one "Because we have faith".
Which of course has no explanation and brooks no argument whatsoever. And is no rational reason to believe at all in and of itself (which is why 'rational faith' is an oxymoron - belief without evidence in and of itself is, of course, not rational (lol - I had to didn't I?)).
Obviously you may have to paraphrase the question, if you ask it lol.
