Paul is a little screwy, but jesus is as good as any other tree hugger.
Just like the God this Paul character is written to support, we the reader are expected to ignore his violent past because he said "I am sorry I won't do that again". That is like forgiving a serial killer.
Paul wasn't just a "little screwy". His character reflects that of a psychopath just like the God of the entire book itself.
