Newly deconverted

Old Baby: I agree, it is hard for me to tell. Personally, I do think WLC knows full well his arguments are fallacious, he is quick to point out the same fallacies anyone else makes; yet his actual underpinning belief is probably true. But I can't know for sure. The brainwashing may just be so strong that he blots out his own fallacies, assuming the conclusions must be correct. I can only have an opinion about each one. Some I think are simply misguided, and do think their arguments make sense. He could be one of those people, I suppose.

It's been hard for me to understand the theistic mindset having never been one, I've tried my best to learn about it. I've made some progress, but have a ways to go yet.

He is particularly dishonest I find though, as he intentionally argues for an entirely abstract deistic god the whole time, then tries to shoe-horn in his personal version right at the end before anyone has the chance to object. This is not the tactics of someone interested in arriving at the truth.
