"Jesus was Insane": Diagnostic Surveys

Not hanging on the cross and hypersensitive to rejection

Clearly maladaptive Jesus by quality criteria - selections

Antisocial Personality Disorder (Psychopaths and sociopaths):

• He wanted to create a new world order.
  
• Disparity between behaviour and the prevailing social norms.
  
• Relative unconcern for the feelings of most pharisees and priests or scribes of Israel.
  
• Persistent disregard for social norms, rules and obligations, but speaking with two mouths in so doing.
  
• Having no difficulty in establishing social relations.
  
• Low tolerance to frustration, as witnessed by his cursing a fig tree.
  
• A low threshold for discharge of aggression, including violence, in the same episode.
  
• Incapacity to profit from his punishment, insisting to be God throughout.
  
• Marked proneness to blame others for what brought him into conflict with society.
  
• Quite irritable as an associated feature.
  
• There seems to be ample reason to diagnose Jeshua ben Miriam as a psychopath (sociopath), then, by the most updated, current standards. That is how far psychology has come. Also, not a few multinational corporations may be diagnosed thus too, as psychopathic. They are marked by striking unconcern with long-range profits. One may see a psychiatrist's diagnosis of the multinational corporation in the Canadian documentary The Multinational Corporation. The Norwegian TV channel NRK sent the eye-opener on 21 April 2007.

• Feelings of inadequacy from early childhood, where innocent babies were ruthlessly killed and his family fled to Egypt.
  
• Feelings of inadequcy versus Jews; they refused him.
  
• His original mission failed.
  
• Pervasive feelings of apprehension.
  
• Excessive preoccupation with being criticized and rejected by scribes and priests and pharisees in social situations, not to speak of being rejected by the people while hanging on a cross.
  
• Abnormal rrestrictions [and demands for it] in lifestyle.
  
• Avoiding occupational activities due to blunt rejection.
  
• He spoke many times as if hypersensitive to rejection.

• Outbursts of threatening behaviour in response to criticism by others; he used the concept of hell that way, for example.
  
• Significantly unstable interpersonal relationships.
  
• First he was for Jews only, later, when they discarded him almost totally, he seemed to focus on other peoples.
  
• You should ask whether or how far he showed suicidal or self-mutilating behaviour when steered right into torture and death and foretold that his followers would be cruelly treated too.
  
• Unstable self-image may be sniffed at by insistence that he was the son of David (of that line) by his stepfather, and not son of God by an angel - or both.
  
• Self-mutilating threats against those in charge of the temple and the religious life of Jews at the time.
  
• Irritability with a lot of people.
  
• Difficulty in controlling anger, display of anger in such as whipping temple people.
  
• At times what may be taken to be stress-related paranoid ideations of wickedness, as when he charged against Peter that wanted to build a hut on a mountain. "Get thee away from me, Satan."

• Unable to make any decisions or take an independent stand on his or her own - must leave it to his so-called Father that almost no one sees.
  
• Considerable personal distress may become apparent late in his life.
  
• Significant problems in social performance: he was crucified.
  
• Subordination of one's own needs to a top-dog, so to speak.
  Undue compliance with top-dog wishes.
  
• Feeling quite helpless before taking up his cross, praying in a garden.
  
• Left to care for himself, his village wanted to hurl him over a cliff, even.
  Limited capacity to make everyday decisions without an excessive amount of advice and reassurance from others.
  
• His reported victory for all over all is a self-defeat, which one has to consider as a disorder, maybe a long standing one, since his calls to followers included many demands on self-molestations and self-denials.

• Inappropriate displays of emotional reactions, cursing fig trees, even.
  
• Approaching theatricality in everyday behavior.
  
• Sudden emotion expressions.
  
• Steadily seeking approval as the Messiah, or attention; over-seductive attractiveness (he has followers despite the long list), and martyrised a lot of them.

• Utter, fancied grandiosity, a call to be admired, an inability to see the viewpoints of others, etc.
  
• An excessive sense of how important they are.
  
• They demand and expect to be admired and praised by others and are limited in their capacity to appreciate others' perspectives.
  
• Need for admiration ("You are the Messiah (Christ)") - a grandiose sense of self-importance, expecting to be recognized as superior (God, even).
  
• Often occypied with quarrels on account of it.
  
• His (or her) fantasies that serve to illustrate a drive for extreme admiration can hardly understood by close ones at first, only on sound inspection.
  
• Takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends - for example by "shanghaiing" disciples.
  
• Peter was taken away from his wife, in fact. Haughty dealings in telling off others that he came from above, they from below.

• Hinged on perfectionism with inflexibility, etc.
  
• See further down for details.

• Garrulous.
  
• Extreme distrust of scribes and pharisees, others.
  
• Lack of trust in Herod the King too.
  
• Suspicious of their motives, never trusting himself to the leaders of his people, who diagnosed him as as devil-possessed, insane, and at any rate a blasphemer.
  
• A pervasive suspiciousness of the doctors and clergy is seen in the gospels; their motives for upholding the Law given by his so-called Father when Jesus wanted differently, are interpreted as malevolent.
  
• He suspects them of harming intent, is reluctant to confide in all of them, reads threatening meanings into being rejected by them, even.
  
• Holds grudges against Jews by saving "all others" instead of them, even after given all power, allegedly.

• Hardly enjoys being part of a family.
  
• Seems to have little, if any, interest in having sexual experiences with another person.

• Odd beliefs, and eccentricities of style and thought (e.g., belief in having magical powers).
  
• Very eccentric behaviors, perceptions, and thinking.
  
• Note his ideas of reference; odd beliefs or magical thinking; belief in clairvoyance, telepathy, or "sixth sense"; and bizarre-looking preoccupations of casting demons out of people.
  
• There is very overelaborate speech in John.
  
• Suspiciousness or paranoid ideation - "You must all be victims, for I was" - which is constricted affect and peculiar behavior from someone who died for all, to the end of putting them right with God, not having them killed in millions in the first place.
  
• Excessive fears may be halfway suspected behind many commands of self-mutitation, and denigrations of most others (competitors).

Example

Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder (301.40): Diagnostic Criteria

1. Willing to sacrifice for control.

A pervasive pattern of preoccupation with perfectionism, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by his being preoccupied with laying down rules, and organise his disciples to the extent that he wanted them to sacrifice and even die for him, leaving families behind as if they were dross, and so on. The major point of his "mission lost" may have been victimisation of his servants - millions of them were martyrised.

"I am God", "the son of God", "one with the Father", and so on is excellent to indicate one such rigid pattern in Jesus.

"Be ye therefore perfect (in mutilating yourselves as I dictate, or there will be sulphur and brimstone and gnashing of teeth)."

2. Preoccupation with details, rules, lists, order, organization, or schedules to the extent that the major point of the activity is lost.

"I have come to fulfil the Law and the prophets, and the Law details cold-blooded murder of animals as part of scapegoating and vicarious sacrifices - such rituals. Obey my commands or fall by the wayside."

3. Unreasonable insistence that others submit to exactly his or her way of doing things, or unreasonable reluctance to allow others to do things because of the conviction that they will not do them correctly.

"If you do not do as you say and drop your relatives for me, you are not worthy of me (Thank God for that, in case)."

4. Excessive devotion to work and productivity to the exclusion of leisure activities and friendships (not accounted for by obvious economic necessity).

"Go out and make disciples of all peoples, teaching them to obey everything I have told you."

5. Indecisiveness: decision making is either avoided, postponed, or protracted, e.g. the person cannot get assignments done on time because of ruminating about priorities (do not include if indecisiveness is due to excessive need for advice and reassurance from others).

"I came for Jews only, and that is the Father's plan. However, now that they have dropped me, I drop them, so go to the Gentiles and throw your nets over them instead".

6. Over-conscientiousness, scrupulousness, and inflexibility about matters of morality, ethics, or values (not accounted for by cultural or religious identification).

"If you eye offends you, pluck it out" is an insane command. Other commands for self-mutilations are very bad too. You do not have to comply.
      He walked into the desert and did not eat anything there for forty days. [Luke 4:1-2] this might be held up as a good sign of "goddamn" inflexibility.

7. Restricted expression of affection.

One may say he condemned religious leaders for hypocrisy.

8. Lack of generosity in giving time, money, or gifts when no personal gain is likely to result.

He did not want to give salvation to non-Jews all through his life, and they were the receptive ones. His own family was not, the gospels tell, most other Jews likewise. He spent his efforts on the wrong people, and hardly reconsidered his approach over the years (inflexible, adamant, yet mistaken) - till he had entered "a pit" and was executed.

9. Inability to discard worn-out or worthless objects even when they have no sentimental value.

He or his apostles seemed unable to discard his worthless family tree (genealogy) by Joseph. They used fraud to legitimise him in two ways: as a divine one by an angel, as a Messiah of the blood line of David by someone else, and you cannot have it in both ways. TIP: If it is God you aspire to be hailed as, drop David's blood line. [Matthew 1; Luke 3:23].

Further descriptions as quoted

"People with this disorder are always mindful of their relative status in the dominance-submission relationships. Although they resist the authority of others, they stubbornly and unreasonably insist that people conform to their way of doing things."

There you have Jesus in a nut-shell.

"People with this disorder tend to be excessively conscientious, moralistic, scrupulous, and judgmental of self and others".

There he is in another nut-shell.

"These people have an unusually strong need to be in control. When they are unable to control others, a situation, or their environment, they often ruminate about the situation and become angry, although the anger is usually not expressed directly . . ."

Oh yes - He was marked by that too.

"Others often perceive these people as stilted or "stiff."

Quite so.

Standards or Principles Require Consideration to Become Your Own

"Have You Seen That Demon?"

Blind speculation versus becoming rationality

Buddhism allows good questioning

Church leaders pick and choose what they like out of Jesus' teaching and then claim to be his honest representatives.
      Jesus' anger against the Pharisees and the scribes in Matthew 23 was definitely over the top.
      Jesus condemned wealth as sinful, and made great, great claims about himself. Christian faith is based on what underdogs wrote about Jesus later.
      Jesus own family believed that he was mad (Mark 3:21)
      Jesus would lose fans if they could see that the choice he left them in the sermon on the mount etc. was letting bullies walk all over them, to the end that bullies and evil ones got the upper hand. Jesus gave such bad advice it might signal deep insanity.
      He taught that demons abounded. Have you seen one? He stated in Matthew 12 that a demon can be exorcised and come back to take over the victim with seven others. (2)
      Jesus went into a rage in the Temple and endangered his own life and that of other people and his friends, for it drove him to cause a riot. He knew about the temple practice before, for he was in the Temple often enough. So why snap then? (3)
      Jesus said many irrational things such as God of the deceased Abraham, Isaac and Jacob meant that God was God of the living, not the dead, so the dead were still alive. There was no reason to take such a bizarre interpretation. (4)
      There is no evidence for Jesus' sanity and plenty of evidence against it.
      The generation he was a part of he described as an "evil generation". He also stated that nobody was good or to be called good, not himself either (Mark 10:18) (5)
      Jesus said that a man who looks at a woman with lust commits adultery with her in his mind and therefore sins (Matthew 5:28). He didn't say married woman. He meant that looking at any woman with desire was a sin of adultery.
      The gospels do not give us any confidence in the sanity of Jesus. The four gospel variants of the resurrection tale differ considerably. And that definitely weakens the resurrection faith in some.
      The Christian faith has the hallmarks of being created by . . . the biggest psychopath of the lot. (6)
      If anybody else made the same claim as Jesus [dying for all when sacrificing a goat and shepherding another goat into the wilderness had been far easier] they would dismiss him or her as insane.
      In the Sermon on the Mount Jesus forbade sexual desire, forbade standing up for yourself and your property and commanded helping your enemy, though this was helping them to oppress you. If that is not mental impairment what is? Jesus said that when you were struck on one cheek turn the other. So you are not allowed to be fitly assertive. Also, Jesus was studiously provocative.
      The declarations of Jesus about the whole generation of his time being evil and sinful and nobody being good is . . .
      When he was on the cross he cried that God had forsaken him. Wasn't he God himself?
      The evidence for the divine origin of the claims of Christ is so flimsy that who believes in Christianity wants to believe. They may have been conditioned. (7)
      People still fear demons even though they do not deeply believe in them.
      The Christian system was designed to produce psychopaths and neurotics. If its bloody history is anything to go by, it has plainly succeeded to a great extent.
      He went into the desert and claimed he saw the Devil there!
      We have to be on guard . . . because . . . Christianity was founded on the ravings of a madman. (8)
