What happened to him, anyway? After his stint as n Young Evangelical, he had a phase as a fairly combative Russian Orthodox as I remember. New he's a lunatic left-wing Christian-hater.

Drugs? Or what?

[PAR35]

He’s an attention whore. He’ll say anything to keep his name in print. He has to keep getting more outlandish to keep the spotlight on himself after he couldn’t ride his father’s coattails any more.

“What happened to him, anyway?”

Admittedly I am only guessing. But my guess is that he slid into sexual perversion—probably homosexuality—and can not reconcile his unshakeable same-sex-attraction with Bible-based faith.

[Fungi]

I don’t know. Wrote a few good books, even made a movie (lousy), but he somehow lost faith. He can still be redeemed, look at Franklin Graham. I understand at one point he turned against his father Billy only to come back into the fold in a big way. Franky for now is a nut case.
