The term 'troll', as used on the internet, didn't come from fairy tale trolls. It came from a method of fishing. Later, it was used to describe men who hung out in mens rooms trying to attract homosexuals.
On the internet, that mens room analogy came into use because what trolls did so resembled the trolling in mens rooms.
On YQA RS followers of the evangelical atheism faith, and some who claim to have scientific knowledge gravitate to this QA to indulge in the 'trolling' mens room behavior, though they deny it.
But they claim they have no faith.
Seems to me they troll here for several possible motives,
1] They admit by default to their faith,
2] They're just intellectual pigmies who've been kicked around all their lives and want to anonymously be smug and condescending, or
3] They're silly, nosy busybodies who actually care what beliefs strangers embrace.
What do you think?
