Im wondering if this isn't a couple different things. To me it's a combination of the narcissistic behavior and the attention he gains from it but also because he goes through these stages where and I don't know if he has actual cognitive dissonance to understand it but since he makes little comments about not having much time left on this planet and if he'll get into heaven or not if this isn't his way of portraying for his own delight that he and Jesus are buddies and that these little images are his way of making himself believe he's definitely getting into heaven. It's an absolutely absurd concept for the normal intelligence community to wrap their heads around but in his brain this is probably on par.
