God says:
Matthew 7:6 ""Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before swine, or they will trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces."
This verses is akin to a quote from George Bernard Shaw which says:
"I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it."
There are many people who love to argue, even if their statements don't make sense as long as they think they are winning by frustrating their target, they are in seventh heaven.
The best thing to do with these arguers is to walk away when we realize we are in a struggle with a swine. God expects us to be able to discern these people and disengage when it is clear they are attempting to start a fight.
Satan uses the swine to cause frustration and render our witness ineffective. Arguing with a hostile and arrogant person has no value whatever, we need to excuse ourselves and keep away from them.
Titus 3:10 "Reject a factious man after a first and second warning,"
