Nice. :) I would say - the larger the Truth, the larger the possible case of mental disturbance. Take Shabbetai Tzvi for instance. This guy stirred up big hopes in the Jewish community in diaspora of finally returning to Zion, at around 1700 a.d. Shabbetai went to Israël in 1662 and was declared by many to be the Messiah, based upon his teachings.
The man created a sensation throughout the Jewish world, that, ever since Jesus of Nazareth, was not very inclined to believe in Messiahs. He must have been pretty convincing, I think.
In 1662 Tsvi visited the Sultan of Turkey, and tried to convince the monarch to grant a Jewish state to him, the Messiah. Sadly, the Sultan wasn't in and gave him the choice of conversion to Islam or death. Following this Shabbetai went into a deep depression and converted to Islam in 1666. Almost no Jew today knows his name or this story. Covered in a blanket of shame. We say today he probably was bipolar. Now compare his failure to launch to other guys who did pull it off. Think of temporal lobe epilepsy. Truely truely I say unto thee, they were probably all crazy.
