Why the religious will never admit you won the argument (and why they don't care)

Forgive me, but this seems to be low on reason, logic, empiricism; and high on pseudo-scientific woo.  My experience has been with a number of atheists, who while quick to claim victory, and logical superiority and to use poisoning the well tactics, upon further inspection and scrutiny of their claims, they turn out to be fairly hollow.

It was kind of amusing (and also a little sad), but I had a guy the one time, who kept insisting that the first premise of the Kalam Cosmological argument was special pleading and fallacious.   I questioned him on this, and tried to reason with him.  His position was; that any statement that uses the word "everything" and then excludes some things was special pleading and incorrect.  I tried to explain to him how this argument was suicidal; but, the problem and I seen in other discussions, that this person, just assumed that he was being logical, and the Christian was illogical.  But when the claims where inspected, this didn't prove to be the case.

In your opinion. You seem to reflect the same flaws you are trying to point out in Veritas.

Which would be?
