thanks in advance

Hmm I didnt actually know that until you just told me. I do know there is something quite spiritual about schizophrenia, I wont forget the time on the train, there was a schizophrenic woman going nuts on the train talking and screaming out loud saying she was going to kill herself and stuff, I got this feeling that I was supposed to pray and I did (not out loud), suddenly she just stopped and was quiet the rest of the trip, which was a considerable way I might add, 30 minz or so.

Well Roxy are you schizophrenic? I am and even I don't really get it. I have a collection of virgin mary's and christs. They are my chosen symbols of the divine.
You know many cultures considered madmen close to God, whatever god that might be.
