It does seem strange at first glance, but everything I've read about Cooper's conversion is that it was the genuine article.
jquinby, I hope that's right. He also claims that his act was never meant to be anything but a joke (but I can't help thinking it was a rather sick joke, that probably didn't do some kids any good at all).
At any rate, I'm willing to give the fellow the benefit of the doubt, until given reason to go the other way. I've seen some pretty amazing turn-arounds in my day. I know it can happen. And I'm not one of those folks who think Christianity has to be prim and proper - far from it! I think a lot of people are driven away from God by cloying/vapid/dull wannabe missionaries. I'm hoping this youth center works out.
