They were all quite unnerving, certainly not people you want to meet at the bus stop. I'm not sure you can blame LSD for the evangical guy just from what we saw in the documentary. There were a lot of things going on, his mum seemed just as fucked up as he was. To the doctor "show me a scan of his brain and how it is different to a normal one" hints at someone who is also tended toward denial/delusion. They were just a very strange pair, especially at the end where they were sat on the sofa watching his old videos of him preaching - him looking emotionless and her smiling. Very odd.
All I can do is guess about the guys background but this is my guess.
He took too much acid while he was too young, probably combined with some very slight mental illness which was already there turned him paranoid and delusional.
His parents feel some guilt over it, his mother's probably heartbroken and in denial about her son being abnormal, she might think he turned to drugs as a reaction to the divorce her and her husband went through.
He's then found a part of society where hearing voices in your head and delusional ranting is looked up to rather than frowned upon (evangelism) and his mother probably sees it as at least something to be proud of slightly.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
