LOL - how did you calculate that probability?
Quote:"and he could have been a decent person as a Christian if he had approached it differently"

Isn't that for him to say rather than you on his behalf?
Only if he's claiming to be completely unique. Otherwise, there are likely people similar to him in natural temperament and background who are jerks among both Christians and atheists, and people similar to him in natural temperament and background who are nice among both Christians and atheists. Point being that people can choose whether to be jerks or to be nice either way. Further, as he admits to being on the jerky side for a long time, he's biased to blaming something other than himself for all that wasted time.
