Because if a person doesn't agree with you, they must just want to stir up trouble, right?

Parrot -- I added additional details. You just chose to ridicule them rather than actually address them.

No.
But you're safe to dismiss as a troll anybody who posts something with an obvious intention to stir trouble;
someone who pretends to be something they're not (for example, a christian), to provoke the ones who disagree;
someone who makes wild claims without knowing the subject they're talking about well enough;
someone with a superior attitude, or insulting /belittling /being rude to others in a very open, aggressive way
...
and so on.

What if I posted the following?
"Hey Christians! If you believe all that stuff in the Bible, how could you possibly have passed science class in your school?"
Could I really expect polite replies if I posted that?
That's how I felt when you asked your last question. Ridiculous question, rude assumption, no additional details. Yes, I assume that people who ask things like that are just here to stir up trouble.
Edit: I'm not responding to your question because it's so ridiculous that I don't even know where to begin. Yes, I absolutely love my family. Why the hell wouldn't I? The implication that I don't is so laughable that it DESERVES ridicule.
And I still think you're a troll by the way.

Not at all. The so called trolls are terrible at debate. I find it far easier and much more fun to make them look like the fools they are, than to just dismiss them by calling them names. Liberals and atheists use emotion rather than reason when they advance a point. And emotion is no substitute for reason in a debate.

Actually there are many here with whom I disagree quite frequently, but we can still manage to respect our differences.
Trolls like yourself have no respect for those who believe differently. Your last question is all the proof anyone might need of that fact.
So no, we don't dismiss those with different opinions as trolls. We dismiss trolls as trolls.

No. But if a person says that they don't understand how an atheist can care about their family.. that person is a troll. It's not about disagreement. It's about spotting the morons.
Your added details were not worthy of serious consideration.

They pretty much show just how impotent they are by not letting even a question stand as is...they hyperv entilate and their mean spirited eyes start bulging out of their heads. Tell you what...ask some of them about prayer and all the sudden, because they don't believe it, has the answer or Question pulled. They don't want differing opinions. They are Troll gods, that are mental midgets.

Isn't that the way it always is, sometimes it's hard to determine if one is a troll or they just disagree with you. What I hate is when I do post what I believe and someone comes and says "You're going to HELL, cause what you believe is WRONG"

I don't think I have ever referred to anyone in my whole life as a troll. I don't dismiss people that disagree w/ me either.I listen to what they say. I don't have to agree is all. I think you need a nap!!!!!!!!

The traditional term is heretic, often followed by a kangaroo trial and a mandatory execution at dawn.
That's how non-profit religions often work.

The trouble is that there are so many of the little blighters here it`s like wading through a mine field.
