    You do not owe me - an explanation or anything else. You stand before God and yourself, not me.

    As for trolling, the best resource I’ve ever seen by far is The Alt-Right Playbook by Innuendo Studios. He’s an avid atheist, which is not relevant in the slightest even for discussing trolling on religious topics. Though I will add that a lot of atheists seem to see more clearly than the vast majority of “christians” I have ever met. As Jesus said: “But you are only warm—not hot, not cold. So I am ready to spit (vomit) you out of my mouth.” (Revelation 3:15) And as CS Lewis said, you have to have a certain amount of character - either good or evil - before you can be truly called either of those things. i.e., someone who shows up to services on Sundays ready for a good hour-long nap is not following Christ, though oddly an atheist who opens their eyes to the foundational principles of the world (see e.g. Romans 1:20) is closer to that than such a “christian”. The former abuses the word “God” while denying its power - thereby telling lies (that they “love” Him, that they “follow” Him, etc.) - while the other tells the truth as they yet see it in part, that there is no god (that they can see). Anyway don’t let that hold you back from learning from him, if he can see more clearly in this arena - I definitely learned a lot from watching that series:-).
