I'm not sure this is fair. It can be useful to ask someone supporting a theory how that theory would respond to a particular objection, even when you don't agree with the objection. Hearing how someone responds can give you more information about the theory and the person's beliefs, and they may have a response that you hadn't thought of.
That is legitimate explorations of the nature of a belief. What I am referring to is - for example - an atheist deciding to argue that God exists to all comers.
