Sorry, but did he really quote from the new testament, or was it instead the ramblings of "God"? I have a special academic interest in schizophrenia; btw, Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind is a fantastic read.

I believe most of his "quotes" are markov chain output (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markov_chain) or somehow otherwise automatically generated. It seems he thinks randomness provides a communication channel, something like if he generates messages while incorporating randomness then god can influence the output and encode messages for him.

That's just the impression I have gotten though.
