Prophets, Apostles, Messiah's and Mental Illness

[guno]

From the Bible we find a man once laid on his right side for 390 straight days and then flipped over for another 40 because the voice in his head told him to. He built little models of Jerusalem in the sand and laid siege to a stone with a pot (Ez. 4). He even cooked his food with human waste (Ez. 4:9) and dug a hole in his own home and squeezed himself through it with his possessions on his back (Ez. 12). His name was Ezekiel. Maybe he was traumatized by the captivity or the destruction of the symbol of all that was holy and stable to him, the temple. He died forever ago and lots of the stuff he said was going to happen never really did. A lot of nutter types quoting him 2500 years later as if you can read the newspaper and immediately see what Ezekiel was talking about. I guess if they lay siege to a rock, lay on their sides for a year or more and give up charcoal for human waste at cookouts, …. The religious kooks will say that their God told him to do these things….but think about It. Would they say that about Andrea Yates who her God told her to drown her kids ?

And what would they say about a white supremacist who poses online as a Jew just to attempt furtively to galvanize white Christian rage and resentment against Jews and the state of Israel?

Would they say that skuzzbag is insane, too?

Why oh why did we get rid of the Red X?

I believe Guano to be Muslim. There is no proof that he is not!
