In reply to the discussion: JESUS CHRIST 'MAY HAVE SUFFERED FROM MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS', CLAIMS CHURCH OF ENGLAND [View all]MineralMan
(151,495 posts)to make any diagnosis of his mental state. All we have are second and third hand accounts that have been edited and changed. There are no eye-witness accounts of the man or anything he is supposed to have said or done. And never mind all the translations. In truth, there was nobody named "Jesus" at all. Even the name has been changed in the translations and accounts. Whomever is being referred to by that name was certainly called another name in his own time. We have nothing but a created account of some things that may have occurred at that time, and nothing more.
Such attempts at long distance diagnoses made millennia later are stupid, and bring even more discredit on the sciences of psychology and psychiatry than already have accumulated.
Such stuff should be simple ignored as meaningless musings by people in need of publication and publicity.
Just one atheist's opinion...
