@Mysterious Brony.
This reminds me of a stupid quote I saw on TV Tropes:

Just like honest citizens don't need the police constantly watching over their shoulder to abide by the law, atheists don't need to have a God watching over them to do good.

"Even if there is an infinite regress of causes, so what? The human mind is uncomfortable with the concept of infinity, but reality has no obligation to make us comfortable."

Did he just deny all possibility of knowledge?

Shhhhh, don't tell him that science is a product of the "hoooman mind". He'll start crying again.

"The way in which we naturally interpret reality points to God, does it? Well, maybe reality isn't intelligible at all! Take that, theist!"

...is what he seems to be saying. All one can do to that is laugh nervously and back away slowly.

Hmmm the last comment by this guy named troll monster on this post over at Luke Barnes Blog might generate some laughs, but I'm not so sure:

I literally have an autistic friend of mine who has implicitly argued #83 on your list before; it's quite bizarre, but it's basically because his atheism (and his pseudo-liberalism for that matter) are motivated by his feeling rejected and detested by the society around him. Hence, he hates Texas because some people have been mean to him there, he hates conservatives because there's lots of them in Texas (despite the fact that he retains the ethical system of his fundamentalist youth, which rejects homosexuality, transsexualism, hyper-feminism, etc), he hates Christianity because there's lots of it around him, etc.

He loves Sweden though, because he has enough Swedish blood that he could become a citizen there, and, quite honestly, it's not where he is, or where his parents will be.

@Dennis
When he denied Jesus' existence, I had to stop reading.

I have my own source of humor courtesy of my TOK class. This a power point we were "taught" on the cosmological argument and ontological argument under the section content library with the label cosmological and ontological argument: https://aisjjhb-my.sharepoint.com/personal/smalik_aisj-jhb_com/_layouts/OneNote.aspx?id=%2Fpersonal%2Fsmalik_aisj-jhb_com%2FDocuments%2FClass%20Notebooks%2FToK
