He sounds a lot how I used to think back when I was a soft Catholic. Wouldn't surprise me if he came out full atheist within a few years.
Still, he does good work regardless. Completely turned his life around and I respect him for it.
I don't know whether this guy needs to be banned, or whether we need to keep him around for some entertainment.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
