I think he's a pompous twit that severely over-estimates his own education . He's another academic talking head that battles zealots in debates that are based on literalism and false dichotomies to begin with, which is like kicking a midget and acting like you just beat up a giant

For example the general claim that Jesus somehow arrives in clouds
