I don't really find the kid disturbing. It's obvious he's just imitating those around him (such as his father) and receiving positive reinforcement for doing so. I doubt he even understands half the words he's saying.
What I do find disturbing, though, are the adults in this video. The four-year old kid is speaking meaningless gobbledy#### (edit: really, that is filtered?!) and they're eating it up as if he's saying something important or significant. Since we know the kid is only repeating what he hears from others, we can safely assume that the adults also speak such nonsense on a regular basis.
I grew up in a Catholic family and am only really familiar with that faith's religious practices; is the content of this video pretty standard for evangelical Christian sects? If so, that is disturbing.
