  It’s definitely real in the sense that if you think god or whoever else is talking to you directly or you are literally Jesus or something you’re more likely to do some crazy shit like break some Roman statues because they killed Jesus, not real in the sense that it will get you out of a sentence for the shit you did

    And this psychosis just suddenly and arbitrarily strikes when visiting Jerusalem. No other places have this effect, and it’s just being there that preciputates the delusions.

    You believe that?

      It’s well documented. It can be a trigger for mentally ill people. Mostly schizophrenic people btw.

      Yes, I believe it’s more likely someone will “hear” a given god in a 1000s year old place half the world away (if American) in a place that’s the key location of your religion, I think you’re being needlessly obtuse

        And I think you’re being credulous, and that the Jerusalem defense is a very contrived way to mitigate someone’s guilt for acting on fanatical fundamentalist motives.

      Lmfao, ask the person who thinks, on first encounter with a disorder, that they know more about it than the experts... 🤦‍♀️😂

      I'd suggest reading a little about it.
      It seems to be more of a person with psychosis visits rather than place causes
