Christians: How do you cope with people laughing at you and your beliefs all the...

I don't :) I just laugh at obnoxious and very ignorant people like yourself.
 
Simple. Refuse to be offended. If we don't take offense to what you say or do, what can you do? It is also worth mentioning that I don't care if you laugh at my religion, make fun of me for it, or laugh at me for believing it for three reasons.
1. Doing so suggests you are childish, and what mature person takes childish insults to heart?
2. Matthew 5:10-12: Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when men cast insults at you, and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, on account of me. Rejoice and be glad for your reward in heaven is great for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
3. Compared to insults, it's nothing compared to what others have suffered, it could be worse

Maymuna bint al-Harith. (590 – 670) Married in 629
Maria al-Qibtiyya. Married in 629

This reached a climax when, one day, Muhammad was in the home of his wife Hafsa bint Umar (as it was her day to be visited by him). Hafsa was away visiting her father, Umar ibn al-Khattab. It happened that Muhammad was feeling amorous so he made advances to Maria, and they slept together in Hafsa's hut.

Hafsa returned unexpectedly and burst into anger and tears, crying, "In my hut, on my own day and in my own bed!" Becoming weary of this, Muhammad then promised that he would ban Maria from his life, and only asked Hafsa that she not tell anyone else about what had transpired.

But Hafsa could not contain herself, and told the secret to Aisha. Aisha, like the rest of the wives, also detested Maria, "the little nobody who had managed to give the Prophet a son." From Aisha the news spread amongst the wives. Muhammad became furious at his wives.

"Wives are playthings, so take your pick" attr. to the Prophet, according to Al Hakem, attr. to Omar.

Probably because we have faith. You laugh at us, yet you firmly believe you just flat out disappear once you die. So this thought you posted online, the knowledge you may gain from it, all completely worthless and useless as it will be lost once you die. You believe you will simply cease to exist, we believe there is something after death. So laugh all you want, I just feel pity for you.
 
they tend to stick their fingers in their ears, and then maybe go read a great work of fiction
 
Matthew 5:11-12 (New International Version)

11"Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
