If it is genuine i hope that he will have the courage to be vocal about the contradictions in christianity and not just turn into another mindless follower Sad
Just remember:  There are more passages in the Bible where the God character tells people to kill and to hurt others than there are passages about being nice.

It doesn't help that the old testament is about twice as big as the new, and the OT does not portray god as kind to people who don't follow him. Sometimes he's even cruel to his followers.
