How does that make him crazy? Most of the world believe that Europe is ungodly and pushes LGBT agenda.
You see that is fascism: picking on minorities and then accusing them of ridiculous conspiracies to create moral panic while promoting violence as the only solution for this nonexistent problem.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
