Listening to a non-Christian mock Christianity is very much like a single man (who has never actually been married) mocking marriage. Although he cannot possibly understand the intricacies that such a life-long commitment entails, he nonetheless feels justified in presenting his attacks as evidence. People who reject faith in Christ are guilty of mocking that which they cannot understand, primarily because they have never experienced it!
As it says in Psalm 34:8 -- Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.
Jesus says in John 10:10 -- I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
And Jesus prays in John 17:13 -- "I am coming to you now, but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy within them."
Christians know the joy of life in the Spirit, and no disparaging remarks from someone who has never tasted that can overcome the reality of having Jesus in our hearts.
