Once again your comprehension leaves a lot to be desired. 

His views are wrong for two reasons. The most important one is that they aren't the same as the majority of New Zealanders, the second is that they're based on fantasy or "faith" rather than fact. The issues that we face as a planet are way too important to base on nothing but imagination.

Also, and please correct me if I'm wrong here, but the point of this thread is that it's a place to speak opinion.

you may not agree with his belief system.  That is fine. But to say it is wrong because the majority view differs?

The majority of people in New Zealand slso believe we should have Capital Punishment.

I don't think that that is even close to being true, but because I looked tried to look it up because I prefer evidence to gut feels.  These were the only references to polls that I could find.  Do you have anything that would refute these that show near enough 2-1 against the death penalty (one slightly more, one slightly less).
