I define a troll as someone whose sole person is to be in attack mode and spout out things that are outlandish and provoke anger from other members. To bait them into an angry response. Its being disrespectful of others view point by responding with no regard for anyone's feelings but your own. Its easy to bring forth a point of view respectfully if you try.
This is how Wikipedia defines trolling and it seems his posts in this thread qualify in my opinion...
In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into a desired emotional response[1] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.[2] In addition to the offending poster, the noun troll can also refer to the provocative message itself, as in "that was an excellent troll you posted". While the term troll and its associated action trolling are primarily associated with Internet discourse, media attention in recent years has made such labels highly subjective, with trolling being used to describe intentionally provocative actions outside of an online context. For example, recent media accounts have used the term troll to describe "a person who defaces internet tribute sites with the aim of causing grief to families."[3][4]

I never called him a troll, but I believe he is posting in that manner. I felt disrespected by his words. Respect. Its not that hard.
I do notice that when an atheist strongly and confidently puts forth their argument, that believers in God often feel profoundly threatened and lash out, usually displaying a measure of hostility. And in a theocracy like Iran, expressing my viewpoint would probably result in my execution.
I do not have the same visceral reaction to religious people at all. I know that their religion brings them comfort and a feeling of safety, not to mention a perceived rescue from mortality. Of course, many of my family members are religious, and I obviously avoid discussing the topic with them, as I do want to get them rattled.
However I make no bones about the fact that I view my position as absolutely and immutably correct, logical, and basically unassailable. That probably comes across in my posts, and many people don't like that. I do not show respect for religious positions, because I do not respect religious positions.
So let's just leave it like this:
Believe what you want and live however you want and go in peace. It is a fantastic free country we live in, and people are free to live rationally or irrationally based on their personal needs and circumstances. I think that atheism is the best way to live and the correct way to live. And I knew that practically from birth. I am consonant with reality and in harmony with the universe and the singular reality in which we live. God is a tool, but not a tool I need in my toolbox. Others may want or need that tool, so be it. Live and let live.
Meanwhile, arguing the merits with many of the recent posts is counterproductive, as very little logic is displayed. The objections are largely emotional, and do not lend themselves to philosophical discussion.
I think I'd rather just play my guitar...
