I know you are but what am I?


Sorry. Couldn't resist.


Is a response even necessary or worth it? What's the upside?

Tell them to demonstrate how you were being narrow-minded. If they claim that you are being narrow-minded because you can't believe/can see as false some religious belief, that's a reduction waiting to happen.
Which means that to me the offer of certainty, the offer of complete security, the offer of an impermeable faith that can\'t give way, is the offer of something not worth having.
