And yet, when a disease lurks about which threatens to hasten his departure to the Heavenly Kingdom...he quickly dashes off to the doctor, hoping that some medical treatment might delay the inescapable for at least a while longer.

As emotional, often irrational beings...when under emotional turmoil, we often act contrary to what we purport to believe.
Not Light, though. Light is sinless, remember? Light is without evil. Light is without any darkness within. Light has a real handle on reality -- much better, in fact, than Jesus ever did!

But here's another explanation -- more plausible, I believe than yours: Light doesn't really believe half the foolishness he posts; for he's ALWAYS tripping over himself in contradictions. He weaves a mighty web of deceitfulness only to get caught in it himself.
