I doubt that he makes money off the ignorant i mean for crying out loud he doesn't believe in demons
while at the same time said jesus exsorcised demons out of people in a debate with Hitchens.
The guy is a con artist he takes advantage of ignorant people for money he doesn't actually believe in
any of it.

Thanks for the information!!! I have been looking for a video of that second debate but have not been able to find it until now:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osvglh99kUU
For some unknown reason, it has never showed-up in Yahoo's list of suggested videos, at least for me.
I am glad that you brought-up Craig's "actual infinite" argument, because this is yet another prime example of Craig's hypocrisy and duplicity. Craig loves to quote singularity theorems, which is basically what BGV is; however, singularities are, of course, regions of space/time that have infinite curvature to them. In other words, singularities are actual infinities.

Have you seen this stupid asshole lashing out on prominent atheist writers?

He call Harris, Hitchens, Dawkins etc. embarrassing as intellectuals. He calls Dawkins' books against God hypothesis embarrassing because " he is not a theologian so he doesn't have an adequate knowledge to dismiss God". Of course this idiot also fails to see that Dawkins is not an astrologer and yet he can deduce that horoscopes are total fraud made for stupid people, just like William Lane Craig himself.
He lashes against Harris, Hitchens, Dawkins... because they're also not philosophers which is his apparent profession, failing to see that Sam Harris is actually a learned philosopher as well.
I mean this shit-head is just rapidly bullshitting stupidities in huge amount that you just don't know where to start and get drowned in them.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

His whining voice cuts through me like a knife. I would actually be embarrassed to have him speak for me. #justmyopinion
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Note that Craig's PhD is in the Philosophy of Religion and not "philosophy" per se. Of course, he dismisses the Quran even though he is not a scholar of it and hasn't even read it, and so, once again, Craig has been exposed as being nothing more than a vacuous charlatan. While i cannot find the reference off hand, Craig, in his debate with Millican, rejected the concept of "zero".

Bit like Kent Hovind with his pretend degree in "Christian Education"; he tends to forget the first part.

Good lawd, I don't know if I'm biased but as far as I've seen theists feel so proud and content and have a smug face when debating ;_; They have the face one has when they think they've utterly destroyed their opponent or someshit.

Did you know he also believes that God is infinite? He rationalizes it by saying that God is "qualitatively" infinite rather than "quantitatively" infinite.

Oh sweet! I mained a Priest in WoW (main tank healer back in my raiding days) and a Wizard in D3. Played them both WAY too much (over a year game time in WoW).
