I think "exasperated" is the word you're looking for here, Warp.

Those of us who fit that "otherwise logical and rational" description get 
frustrated when the counter to logical and rational points is "because 
God said so" or "because God made it so" or "Because it's God's will".

That doesn't leave room for logical or rational debate, leads to 
frustration, and ultimately is going to result in a facetious comment 
being made.

Logically, rationally, the next step for the religious fanatic is to come 
back and say "Gee, where's your logic now?", which is quite infuriating.
