It has not been shown he is lying.
It's a trilemma thing: He makes patently bad arguments because,
1. He's too stupid to know better?
2. He's too ignorant to know better? Or,
3. He does know better and he is guilty of deliberate misrepresentation.
I believe that he is really smart, and quite knowledgeable. I believe, therefore, that he is lying.
I assume that he is sincere in his beliefs (whatever those quasi-Christian beliefs may be) but that his arguments supporting those beliefs are those of a mountebank, a flamboyant charlatan.

Care to elaborate?

Ah, insult. He may wish that I couldn't follow him.
