Briboy a ? .. WAS JESUS SCHIZOPHRENIC?

The thesis put forth in this essay is that the descriptions of Jesus' life,
as offered by the New Testament, are strikingly consist with both
schizophrenia and paranoid personality disorder, as defined by standard
diagnostic criteria. Whether or not the comparison is accurate will depend,
in large part, upon one's personal assessment of both the New Testament
record and the standard diagnostic criteria, neither of which are as
reliable or as concise as would be needed for a definitive comparison.

Yet the comparison is a disturbingly striking one. The similarities of
Jesus' thought, discourse, and actions with the standard diagnostic criteria
are too close to be attributed to chance alone. While the nature of the
similarites may be disputed, the fact that close similarities exist cannot
be. If nothing else, the comparison should serve to clarify the distinction
between the ancient world-view, where a predilection for psychosis always
established one as the village shaman, stick-shaker, or rainmaker, and the
modern worldview, where the shaman has been replaced by the science of
psychiatry. The two worldviews presupposed by the standard diagnostic
criteria and by the NT are vastly different, and this comparison will also
serve to highlight that difference. .. much more ..

I agree he said many nice things, then of course, they had been said before Moses.
