I think I replied but it got lost...
Why not? Because it undermines us.
Christians ridicule athiests and atheists ridicule christians. It's just what happens. If you haven't realised, then you've not looking out for it. The point being is that every side can do it to every side. Atheism has plenty of well constructed arguments, so why not use them?
Any cheap shots at someone's person experience (at least in my eyes) undermines what we believe. It gives the idea that we don't have anything better. Show that their experience isn't god by all means, but do it with reason and intellect. Not like some schoolboy bully.
Or suit yourself, I'm not here to defend them.
