My go-to response as well. I leave the second part of it for the theist to bring up, at which point I compliment them on their sudden understanding of the burden of proof.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

It's a sad state of affairs when intellectual honesty is seen as a weakness in a position.

Get the other guy to admit he can't be certain; then just say I am certain.

Which is better:
To die with ignorance, or to live with intelligence?

Truth doesn't accommodate to personal opinions.
The choice is yours.

The more questions you ask, the more you realize that disagreement is inevitable, and communication of this disagreement, irrelevant.
