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
And there's the guy who got his daughters pregnant but claimed they got him drunk and raped him because they wanted to be teenage mothers.
There’s a really good secular movie called “The Rapture” that covers this exact scenario. It stars Mimi Rogers.

Does anyone know the history of this meme? Or what this image is from? I've seen the video now but it's too short to give any information and there's no identifying information.
Modern day Kierkegaard
Why?
Fear and Trembling is an extrapolation of details surrounding the story of Abraham traveling up the mountain to sacrifice his son, this meme does the same only through a modern lens
Are straightjackets even still a thing?
