Eg. Facebook was invented by an atheist therefore theists are hypocrites if they use it for apologetics.
Eg. Most Academy of Science members are atheists therefore religion is stupid.
I think people have been trolling you, no atheist in their right mind would argue like that. Its done as a joke, nothing more

What I think is that you've got some 'splainin' to do. We still are unsure why you brought this up in the first place.

The thing is with people like you, atheists have two choices on how to deal with you. They either get incredibly frustrated and pissed off at your ignorance and insults, or they simply don't care and just troll.

No, we were definitely poking fun at your immaturity and intellectual dishonesty. No need to disguise what we think of your arguments.

Great. I look forward to the next scientific advance warning for a tsunami so 250k human lives can be saved.
