I also brought this up a while back, but was attacked for even remotely having the idea by one of the users who're more fluent in the language of bollocks, essentially because I disagreed with his opinion.
I don't find it that hard to believe that Patterson could have, at least at one point or another, given credence to the legend of Bigfoot. It would hold no bearing on him attempting to cash in, I imagine even 60% of TV evangelists who're out to make some easy money may still believe in God one way or another.
Yeah, you could say it was all just a ploy, part of the hoax, but I don't see why Patterson couldn't have believed in Bigfoot at one point or another, just because he was a hoaxer.
