And he’s a kook.

Always has been.

A man killed a man that was killing thousands of men.

Are they not vindicating Luigi by wanting this?

I suppose my meaning is the “strongly religious” - as in the ones who include it as part of their identity - are seen as kooks.

Authorities?

A pastor isn’t much of an authority, is he? I’m from the UK, so the religious are seen more as kooks.
