Besides, those responses don't appear to be standing up for your beliefs. And people who start those conversations are never interested in what you believe. I'm a theist myself and I never get into religous discussions like that unless I choose to go to one like a Bible study etc. Otherwise those people are really irritating. Even if you agree with them that's not enough. It can get really irritating!
