It's by a friend, he suddenly quit his job moved to London a few hours away and intentionally went street homeless. No drugs or alcohol, detachment from possessions, deeply religious.

He's apparently reading a passage from the bible for me at church tomorrow and quoted it.

I can't think what I said, in my last email I asked him about practicalities and said to apply for UC using the church address as he has no income now, and to see a doctor. He did say Jesus was homeless and I said but you're not Jesus.

Is it best to take a step back from this? He won't like whatever I say. I'm not religious. I felt like snapping at him to read more Darwin.

Jesus wasn’t homeless, he presumably lived with his parents until he started his mission and then he seems to have sofa served among his followers.

Could you be bipolar?

Me? I wouldn't have thought so, I'm not prone to extremes.

I should have said in OP but our relationship isn't romantic, I'm old enough to be his mother (if I'd had a child when I was aged under 16!) and he's completely celebate, always has been. I nearly died when he brought that up. I care that he's well though.

This sounds like he is experiencing a psychotic episode. If he is, then nothing you say or do will help as he isn't thinking rationally.. He will think you're irrational not him( I'm bipolar)
Distance yourself emotionally at the moment and mute if you need to
See your title re his irrational thinking

Is he Buddhist?

Sounds like a psychotic break and he needs urgent medical attention.
