He strikes me as genuinely believing he is Jesus reincarnated.
As has been noted above, it's not that unusual a delusion for the mentally ill. There's probably several thousand Jesus Christ's floating around, in and out of hospitals.

If only the staff would listen.
I am taking the opposite view - I think it is all an elaborate spoof (for attention) at our expense.

Lars is one of a long line of nuts that believe they are deity. He, however, will never have a following. A few reasons, he is not charasmatic enough. His lifestyle choices are VERY bizarre. His worship in the context of homosexual sex will turn most off. And his arguments are far from compelling.
