The Paradox of Da Free John

Some of the statements about Da Free John make him seem like he is schizophrenic. He believes that he is God realized. It sounds like he has delusions of grandeur that are typical with schizophrenia. Now this may be a bold statement to make with the limited information I have about him. I have never met or read the articles by him. Al I have to go off of is this article that I just read. But someone that considers himself to be God is someone that I would have to question the sanity of. This is a large claim to make and one that will have major skepticism about.

It is amazing that some people can get caught up in some of the cults that are around today. I don’t understand how someone can fall into these “traps”, but at the same time I have a very skeptical mind and will not trust the claims of other unless they can substantiate their claims and it makes sense to me. It is unfortunate that some people can become brainwashed to the point that they will do anything for someone who claims to be God or understand more about God than anyone else can or does. Especially because these new cults come up with some outrageous claims. When the majority of the world looks at a group you are part of and says you must be crazy to believe any of that, I would think most people would have to see this and seriously question whether they believe what they are being taught or not.
