When in doubt or fear or losing an argument, the internet atheist typically appeals to mockery and self-flattery. That is, insulting the other person[s] and inflating their own head to the point that they run the risk of falling out of their seat should they lean too far to the left. The sad thing is that it’s just embarrassing when anyone does this. Just imagine the reasoning process (if there is one). “I should ridicule this person simply because they disagree with me and I refuse to have an intellectual, rational, and meaningful dialogue.” (I see the internet atheist comments already: “You’re not intellectual or rational! There’s no point in arguing with someone who might as well believe in a flat earth, Zeus, or Santa Claus.” Believe me, I’ve actually gotten all of those responses before. Thanks for proving my point, internet atheists.)
