Your rebuttals have been brilliant, but I really think you are misreading his character.
I really think that all of you still fail to understand the threat.
Since the 1950s the Christian Cult of Willful Ignorance and Avoidance has had the sole goal of creating a society where SOURCE trumps content, BELIEF trumps evidence and FANTASY trumps reality.
They have succeeded in creating a massive segment of the US population that is totally divorced from evidence-based reasoning and where WHO says it determines what is true and what is false. They have no base to stand on and nothing stops them from believing two mutually exclusive points of view simultaneously.
Alternate facts are real.
Belief determines factuality.

Yeah, that does seem to be a trend we've seen with the rise of TV conmen since the 50s, but really that seems like the MO of religion, forever and always. Religion can only thrive on ignorance.
Not all religion and not always. A great example is the under the Muslim Iberian Caliphs when education, learning, science, acceptance of other races, religions, nationalities was the norm.

Re: Any Redeeming Value?
You are a prime example.
You are classic Christian Cult of Willful Ignorance and Deceit.
