I don't think he came across as angry so much as he came across as having a ton of baggage. Which makes a lot of sense, all things considered. He changed his stance on a HUGE amount of his life, and was dealing with how his old life saw the change. It's never fun to feel like you aren't supported by those you once called friends, and that's probably how this bloke feels. Figuring out where your faith fits in with the rest of your life (or vica-versa, I guess) is an extremely difficult task that every Christian, heck, every religious individual, has to come to terms with. This guy is new in his faith, and he's already dealing with all of the baggage that comes with it. It's understandable if he's a bit standoffish, he'll grow.
