If it's a conservative or religious person trying to justify something:

"That's really interesting, why do you think --insert brief summary of their topic/first sentence-- ?"

Continue this until they realize they've either painted themselves into a corner or they realize I'm trolling them several monologues/pages later. It's the uno reverso card when they try wasting my time.

That's not an insult, it's a specific form of trolling/harassment called sealioning.

That's really interesting. Why do they call it sealioning?
