Case Damascus
February 21st, 2010
Were Muhammad, Jesus, Moses, St Paul and others Schizophrenic?
Schizophrenia causes auditory and visual hallucinations
(“God spoke to me from a burning bush”, “God revealed the Qu’ran to me”, “God spoken to me as I was on my way to Damascus”)
Schizophrenia causes delusions of grandeur
(“I am the son of God”, “I am the Lord’s chosen prophet”)
In any case, anyone saying the same thing today would definitely be committed to a mental hospital.
Just an observation. Any opinions on the psychiatric diagnosis?
People hear and see what they want to hear and see. I’m sure they could have had SAD ((schizo affective disorder)) in some sort of way. I’m positive Muhammad was just paranoid as was Hitler and Stalin. But the likelyhood of that is not so large.
People also like power and to have authority, some of those men just wanted to scam people into making them feel powerful, so they deluded themselves and a crowd of people.
