Yes - I do think he could well be mentally ill!
Because in the context that he spoke about it, it was ridiculous!
He stands up on international TV, and states that was he is about to say isn't a 'parable' or an 'analogy' but absolute truth... (Paraphrasing)

Myself and the production crew had sat down to have a coffee and discuss this weeks broadcast. A 'middle eastern' type guy with a beard walks up and sits down next to us. We start talking about the bible and how we interpret certain parts, and he says to us - Hey Guys, what your talking about sounds really cool! Can I sit in on it?
So we say 'of course' and he joins our table. The debate gets really heated and we are vibrantly discussing 'What Jesus meant to really say was this' & 'What Jesus meant to really say was that' etc, and this went on for a good 20 minutes or so, before the stranger said "No, what I meant was this" I said "Hey Your Jesus? and he said yes, and 'poof' ! He just simply vanished into thin air! Amazing ! Praise the Lord etc...

Well, that to me sounds like a mental illness. People that are not there sitting down for coffee and then vanishing? Like I say, it was presented as a factual true story.
If I met you, in real life, and we knew each other n stuff, & I said to you... Last December Santa Clause came down my Chimney! I thought he was a burglar! But once I saw his red suit and beard, we had a chat for a bit, then he vanished into thin air!
Would you not, as a pal, suggest I sought some kinda psychiatric help? I know I would...
But this guy isn't coming up to me IRL. OH NO... He's coming up to MILLIONS of viewers all over the world, talking UTTER BULLSHIT.
Don't get me wrong - There is a place for a preacher to discuss the bible or (Insert Book Of Choice Here) but not to just spew BS without sounding like a complete DICK!
