"I reached a point where I was crying because God, if there was a God, was alone. I got in the car and started driving to Virginia, and I was so deranged that, when someone on the radio said, 'Drink Coca-Cola', I immediately had to pull off the freeway and search for a place to buy a Coke. These weren't suggestions; these were commands. I genuinely believed that God was now talking to me through the car radio", he stated.
"I was going to kill my mother, my wife, and my baby daughter because God had told me to. It's important that you don't judge me here, my friend. In my mind, this was the only thing I could do", the billionaire said.
"... a man came walking across the yard straight toward me. 'Sir, do you believe that you have to be reborn into the kingdom of heaven?' he asked. 'F**k, yes!' I said. This was the first fu**ing person in three months that I actually felt like I could talk to. We went up on the porch and sat on the porch swing and talked. Meanwhile, thank God my wife and mother had the common sense to leave it be and let me talk to this man. We swung for two hours while they looked out of the window at us from time to time, and for those two hours, he imparted the whole impact of the Holy Bible. In my perception at that time, and it wasn't a specifically Christian perception, everything he was saying made total sense", he said.
