If we are the ones saying "atheists are right because of X reasons" we should come up with good reasons (and there are a lot) If you just want to insult theists, then it's fine to call them delusional or dumb, etc, it's actually kinda fun. My point is that atheists sometimes use those arguments to discredit theists, but it's not valid OR necessary - Theism can be dismissed with rational argument
I do not argue for positional superiority. I do not have an ego that needs to be satisfied by a theist admitting I am correct.
My only reason for arguing against theists is to insult them for the nitwits they are, expose their ignorance for exactly what it is.
