    You'll have to be more specific. You mean something like in Joel, "And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions"?

    Or say in Numbers, "And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream"?

    Those two stories from the Tanakh had nothing to do with schizophrenic / paranoia / demonology. The story of "Legion" is from your New Testament books; Mark and Luke. You didn't know that??

    I see, you mean like the evil spirit or madness that troubled Saul.

    No. That was one spirit, not "voices." Voices as your referred to is plural. Lucky for you my vacation ends today. The lady earlier mentioned bullying earlier and I can see why she said such. Give it a rest, Stevie.

    LOL, so claiming that mental illness is a phenomenon whose origins are in Christianity isn't bullying. It's a shame Bobby, I'm certain she was talking to you, too.

    My view is that 'politics' is, actually, 'civil' warfare, the arena where ideas become law. Politics is entertaining and consequential, and we should strive to maintain levity and a sense of humor. Dems want Pubs to fail, and vice versa. It doesn't mean we should restrain our search for truth and justice.
    Check this: "What Judd Gregg showed today is that he's not willing to swap his integrity for a place in the Cabinet. When the administration insisted on gutting Commerce Department supervision of the Census and putting it under direct White House political control, it stung Gregg. And when the administration set aside its own principles of "temporary, targeted and timely" stimulus measures to embrace a big spending measure full of programs that Gregg has opposed since coming to Congress, New Hampshire's senior senator realized that he was window dressing and that the administration had a greater interest in grabbing his Senate seat in 2010 than in listening to his counsel today." washingtonpost.com I find this entertaining, for the most part.
