Wait, is this the crazy man who is always commenting on HackerNews and getting downvoted to oblivion?
Yes, in the history page you see this is a continuation of LoseThos.
Well, it explains why he starts his comments off with "God says:"...
Somebody linked to him on MetaFilter a couple years ago, and he joined the site to comment in-thread. What could have been a pile on ended up being an exchange between himself and a few members that flipped back and forth between a discussion of theology and of technical design and implementation at a pretty high rate of speed.
It's possible to have a level conversation with him when he's not being treated like freak o' the week. Admittedly that can be a challenge
He's visited the comments section here, too: http://www.jwz.org/blog/2013/08/a-light-has-gone-out-on-the-web/.
His "rants" also do the same trick of cycling rapidly between persecution complex, technical minutia, delusions of grandeur, and... links to classic rock? God's apparently a fan of The Beatles. And for even more Fun With Terry: http://disqus.com/facebook-1505460658/
I hope that his "songs by god" will end up in a mixtape some day.
If you liked the song in that video then you'll love his others http://www.templeos.org/Wb/Accts/TS/Wb2/Hymns.html
I was sold when he did the Count to 1000000 performance test. That and the potted plant in the Wolfenstein app.

OK, pretty low on the list of problems that needed solving, but a significant amount of effort none the less.
The man is very talented, but unfortunately, insane.
I was riveted for almost 8 minutes.
"Interpretation is tricky..." -- LOL.
