I voted for a "conscious charlatan"; he seems like he wants to travel with his wife at other peoples' expense.

What do you think of William Lane Craig?

I wanted to vote that too, but I think it isn't quite like that. More like his dedication to the cause makes him gloss over and obscure whatever doesn't further his cause. I doubt that he thinks of what he does as cold calculating lies. I don't have any use for the guy. He is a total tool.
Scumbag would have been my first choice. But conscious charlatan was close enough.

I don't have any use for the guy. He is a total tool. I voted for #1 because he uses the same presentation, the same lecture, the same format, etc., over and over. He has been corrected in his use of the Borde-Guth-Vilenkin theorem, even by prominent cosmologists (such as Sean Carroll) who personally know those researchers, and yet, Craig continues to trot out the same old nonsense time and time again. And, why? Because, he has nothing else to present, and his gullible, paying audiences continue to soak-up the same old crap. He's making a good living, that's for sure!

Whatever works and since he is convinced he is fighting the good cause scruples don't apply. Isn't it interesting what shitty morals a person can hold who is convinced of the need for an objective arbiter of morals? 
What do I think of William Lane Craig?
I think the kindest thing to say is the thought of him can keep the wolf from the door in a vinegar stroke situation.
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.'
I have absolutely no idea who he is, and I don't really care that much. Probably a cunt though.

Where's the "manipulative disingenuous cunt" option?
Sam Harris kicked his ass in debate. Sam Harris kicks ass just by waking up being Sam Harris though. It's best with stupid fucking cunt of a bastard William Lane omitted and removed altogether: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8FRqMK8OOY Bliss. Just Sam. I think I haz a mancrush on Sam Harris, he is just so damn epic!

He's my intellectual hero.
