He had built up a small arsenal of weapons and he had written a bit of a manifesto explaining how he was going t blow up the state of Missouri and drive to Canada on a bulldozer.
It got even worse after the divorce was legal; he claimed that his youngest son wasn't biologically his and was the love child of an affair between his wife and an alien. Then he claimed that the government killed his whole family and because of that he doesn't have to pay child support.
This has nothing to do with religion. An atheist with paranoid schizophrenia could say the same things. Nobody's entirely sure what causes schizophrenia but there's some evidence that there's a biological aspect to it.

This doesn't automatically mean that your boyfriend's going to end up schizophrenic, though.
There are probably more religious sufferers than atheist sufferers for the sole reason that there are more religious people than atheists.

Your boyfriend's childhood would have been even worse if it hadn't been for the LDS church's generosity.
Where are the snake and mushroom smilies?
