Anotehr example, i think ol' GW said he thought he heard voices telling him what to do.
My point it, and was possibly poorly conveyed, that why are we judging a bloke and pokng fun at him, because of what he believes. Take people on their whole, not just one part.
As for the responses of 'its the 21st century' etc, we still don't know everything there is to know, a long way from it.

Because Joan of Arc WAS a fearsome military leader, even if she may have worn a tin hat. This is the Subsim General Topics forum where people shoot the breeze. And if I was hanging out somewhere and a guy came up to me to tell me of his prophecies, I wouldn't be very nice about it either and would probably judge him as not quite right. People are judged and poked fun at daily here for a good number of beliefs (political and otherwise).
