I've always wondered how many prophets, witches, and possessed people throughout history actually just had undiagnosed mental disorders.
Most of them. The remaining ones were constantly getting high.
There were probably some con-men among them too.
I think all of them were con-men. Just read about Joseph Smith and Lafayette Ronald Hubbard, people who created two modern religions. The former had dozens criminal charges including banking fraud and treason and the latter was forging bank checks.
Lol how did I not know his first name was Lafayette?
I thought his name was Elron. Now I understand it's L. Ron
Jesus' criminal record wasn't exactly clean either.
Once you throw in either deliberate, or accidentally high, basically all of them. Though there are/were likely some charlatans mixed into that too.
I can't decide who's more dangerous, the zealous madman or the power hungry charlatan. But the mix of both is just... yikes.
or you know, covering up for stuff using supernatural mambo jambo
