This is a variant of the logical FALLACY OF AD NAUSEAM by
Tilly.

"argumentum ad nauseam: believing that the more times an
 argument is heard the more likely it is to be true, or
 simply repeating an assertion instead of arguing for or
 proving it."

Tilly prefers the two favorites of Atheists everywhere,
name-calling (ad hominem) and humor and ridicule, but
sometimes he makes other mistakes in rational thinking.

 becoming convictions and ossify the organs of intelligence."
