That dumbfuck doesn't listen to reasoned points, and carries on as if they've never been made. Maybe if he engaged in honest discussion, he wouldn't be mocked?
That point goes for all theists. If you plug your ears and shout "lalalalalalala" when faced with countervailing points, you won't earn respect. I'd much rather have interesting and informative conversations, so once I suss out that a theist is an ear-plugger, I will use mockery to make my point and provide entertainment at the same time.
