Thought this was interesting. Came across Vic's comments on a video taken at Sakuraon 08.

(it's worth a watch. it's only five minutes. Vic talks about Jesus and why he doesn't consider himself a "religious" person.)
Here are his comments:

Curious to see that there apparently were a bunch of rumor / hate comments on this video. Wonder why. Could it be because Vic's openly talking about his religion here?
Everything he's saying is harmless, btw. He talks about how Jesus was a rebel and went against religious leaders at the time. Acknowledges that horrible things were commited in the name of religion and "religious" has a bad connotation, so he doesn't call himself religious, but he believes in Jesus and the bible. Really rudimentary stuff. You could only be offended by this if you had a huge hateboner for religion anyway.
I do very much believe that the majority of the rumors started because people (mainly edgy mid 2000's atheists and fujoshis, or a mix of both) got their panties in a bunch because Vic dared to be open about his faith and tried to share it
in a very, very gentle and non offensive way. Again, from all the footage I've seen, he only recites lovey dovey hippy stuff (God loves you no matter what you look like) or he shares his thoughts about religion in very non offensive, simplified terms. Speaks volumes that people apparently got so fucking angry over this video they spammed it with rumors and hateful comments.
I could only find three negative comments, though, so I assume the uploader purged the rest. I can't imagine Vic commenting like this over three tweets that don't even reference rumors. Here are the three comments:
