I think he's a fraud who doesn't give a fuck and is trying to make money and may or may not believe the utter shit he says.

It's hard to tell the difference, but here is the DSM-V criteria:

Quote:[*]Having an exaggerated sense of self-importance
[*]Expecting to be recognized as superior even without achievements that warrant it
[*]Exaggerating your achievements and talents
[*]Being preoccupied with fantasies about success, power, brilliance, beauty or the perfect mate
[*]Believing that you are superior and can only be understood by or associate with equally special people
[*]Requiring constant admiration
[*]Having a sense of entitlement
[*]Expecting special favors and unquestioning compliance with your expectations
[*]Taking advantage of others to get what you want
[*]Having an inability or unwillingness to recognize the needs and feelings of others
[*]Being envious of others and believing others envy you
[*]Behaving in an arrogant or haughty manner
[*]

Of those I have highlighted in bold are clearly indicative of Craig.  As for the others, they would have to be ascertained from those who know him personally.
[*]

I would argue that preoccupation with success, sense of entitlement and requiring constant admiration are also needing to be bolded.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views.
