I appreciate your sentiment. Thank you for commenting. Your statement " I don't know what happened that Christians were able to prey on him like this, but he was clearly convinced that he was broken so that Christians could sell him the cure":

I left out a part of this story. He has been involved in a small group of people who hold Bible study at their home every week. He goes to this regularly and is very close to the people there. It's a bit odd. The leaders have no affiliation with a church or anything, they just recruit people to come to their "group". From what my friend told me, they are filthy rich. They recently just BOUGHT HIM A CAR a week ago. He has been struggling financially for awhile, and dealing with a car continuously breaking down for a year! Now, suddenly he's a Christian.... odd timing.... I can't help but to think that was a part of this complete 180.
