When generations of people have been raised with God's, Saint's and a hole lot of other objects to worship, one may become psychotic.

Waaal...it's often been said...
There's a thin line separating madness and genius
That's two dimensional, so we can add the third factor..mysticism
and we now have a 3 dimensional being who can alter between states of genius, insanity and mystic..and now for the clanger! History's most famous inventors, musicians, artist, poets and writers were just that!
