“Group psychotic delusion has no basis in science.”

I won’t comment of Peterson’s hypothesis about Jesus, but all we have to do is look around us today and see insanity being infused into society - we are witnessing all manner of psychotic delusion.

To: Seeing More Clearly Now; alstewartfan

It seems pretty clear that alstewartfan was referring to the fact that the behavior of the disciples after witnessing the resurrected Jesus cannot logically be explained by any theory that they had mental illness.

Group hallucination is impossible.

Group delusion resulting in highly organized behavior like that of the disciples is impossible.

I was waiting for that. No, group psychotic delusion means that more than one person sees or hears the same hallucination, not BELIEVES claptrap from a Jim Jones type.
