From a lot of different sources lin wood is known as a mega bullshitter and loves shock value and playing with peoples heads. So there's that.
Sadly, I know two people who talk to God. Both have been independently diagnosed as manic depressant as well as bi-polar. Can't get much more confused than that. Both are on medication and when off the meds veer into religious events.

All the while pursuing his own business with municipalities.
