I don't think he's trolling. I think he is genuinely dumbfounded that anyone who doesn't think like him could possibly be anything other than ugly, stupid, and a loser in life. There's a word for that.

Just to clarify, that part was just directed to the message sent to "SixDay Science", and why a reply wasn't received.

Lets face it, some people are just happier with religion in their life. We don't have to understand it/them or even like it/them. We do have to acknowledge that it/they exist.

That's the wonder of warm fuzzy delusions.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.

I did ask a question (which is appropriate to the "Atheism" subforum of this board, namely, "If you want to discuss atheism in general, this forum is the place to be!"), which is, " What's going on with these people?"

I didn't really expect a reply.  If you look further on their website, all correspondence is theirs to do with as they please (i.e., "publish angry diatribes from atheists," etc.)  I would certainly welcome a reply, namely, one along the lines of why a professional astrophysicist would link to a man such as WLC, who called the number zero "very problematic".

Bless your (nonexistent) soul, CL!  By the way, Sir Peter Millican, whom Craig debated back in 2011, now an atheistic philosophy professor at Oxford, was himself a former believer, as am I.

You're probably right, which is why individuals, such as Dr. Salviander, are only willing to dialogue with "believers", such as themselves.

Yes, and as I said, I wasn't discussing here, but rather your message you sent.

This was the part, that I think could be viewed as trolling.  There was a thread on this, but it is old now.  If you like, I would be willing to look at the supposed problem you think you see in Craig's quote.  Frankly, I have a feeling, that the problem is being overly dramatized, and taken out of context (at least for what I looked at the clip), but I'm willing to take a look.
