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.

She's intelligent, attractive, highly educated, successful, gainfully employed, and happily married, the epitome of modern success in the Western World:



She's said that her Mom & Dad were ex-Catholics (like me), who (de)converted to atheism; she said that she was raised as an atheist, but while in college, discovered some sort of generic theism, and after falling in love with a Christian man from Finland who was raised in an atheistic home, she gave her life to Jesus.  Now, she has two websites:

And, especially:

https://sixdayscience.com/

Two seeks ago I sent an email to her "six days" science website after noticing links to WLC's RF site:



I never received a reply and didn't really expect one.  "James", by the way, is an ex-Christian, now atheist, who was critical of Sarah's conversion to Christianity.  His blog site "Reasonably Faithless" can be found online; if you read Sarah's post, she has a bit of a temper to her disposition!

Apparently, some other "fire breathing atheists" from UT (the home of Nobel Laureate Steven Weinberg) have converted, also:

Kind of reminds me of Dan Barker, but in reverse.  What's going on with these people?

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

That's the wonder of warm fuzzy delusions.

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".

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.
