The cop-out fundie atheists pull out of the bag when they cannot justify a claim they make regarding God, the Bible, etc. Usually framed as either a loaded question or a "Go could have done XYZ" routine to make God appear irresponsible at best.
Fundie Atheist: If God does not endorse slavery, why did he not condemn it?
Christian: What good would that have done when the concept of it was ingrained into everyone's minds to the point of normalization? He first had to break the ideas at play, like what we see in Philemon, for instance. goes on to explain
Fundie Atheist: Oh, yeah? Well, God's omnipotent, isn't he? Couldn't he have done something to make them accept a direct condemnation of slavery?
Christian: Well, since you brought up the Omnipotence Card, why should he have done it your way at all? Where is the obligation.
Fundie Atheist: He's omnipotent, right?
Christian: Your point is? Now, answer my question, if you don't mind.
Fundie Atheist: Well, then, why didn't he? He could have, couldn't he?
Christian: Why should he have done it that way?
Fundie Atheist: He's omnipotent, isn't he?
Christian: Cope harder.
That one guy at the table that has his card in hand stretched out into the middle of the table, unturned, before the player before him has even played, just to intimidate them into thinking he knows what they will play. This usually makes the card player second guess what they think they should play and play another. Which usually ends up being the wrong play.
Last night, Pete was such a card bully. He was totally making me mess up because I kept second guessing myself. I hate when he tries to guess what I will play.

"Jeffrey, I really care for you. But this isn't working. I want to break up with you."

"What?"
"Nope"
"I don't understand. What do you mean nope?"
"I'm playing my nope card. So you can't break up with me."
"Oh. Okay."
"Wanna go out for drinks tonight?"
"Sure, I guess."
