William Lane Craig diagnosed.

Really? Where are the threads?

Listening to certain pastors is more than sufficient. Such as Manning, who virtually obsesses over anything gay. But he's certainly only the most flamboyant example of gay sex obsession.

How is Manning's despising of black people a refutation of his despising homosexuals? He's a bigot, I'm sure he can find it in his tiny, shriveled heart to hate more than one group at a time.

Pastor Manning? Really?

The Guy doesn't even like black people, AND HE'S BLACK!
A couple of quotes from manning.

I'm actually glad, you don't like him. It speaks very much in your favor. But he's not the only one by a long stretch.

First, an example of Dunning Kruger syndrome, after which I'll disagree with your diagnosis of Craig. 

I knew this guy who worked as a carpet cleaner.

It's all relative, of course.  Compare yourself to that carpet cleaner and then do the same comparison between Craig and someone like Sean Carroll.  With respect to the latter, he is a professor of theoretical physics at the California Institute of Technology.  Craig was a communications major who went onto Bible college for his "graduate" studies.  Just do a comparison on the admission rates of Cal Tech and any Bible college.  Relative speaking, Craig is "unskilled".

But don't you think Craig knows that? 

Here's what he's good at: 
1. Making his followers feel like he has defended God well enough that they are vindicated. 
2. Obscuring the ways in which his relatively sophisticated god differs from their crude one, so that they can believe their god is the one he's been defending.

That's what he does.  That's what he's good at.  He doesn't pretend to himself that he knows theoretical physics better than Sean Carroll.

I was going with WKS with a strong confabulation component.
