Deluded Fools, occultist who've proven their just nuts Options

Has anyone met in person or on the internet claiming to be something only to start coming off as being crazy as a near total nutjob?

Not sure that we are any more deluded than past generations really, some are just live their delusions in a different way, as in some viewers apparently believe the characters in soap operas are real, enough to tell them off for perceived wrongdoings on the street lol

My thoughts are that we just get to see them more, I mean the standard of TV and the types of people they show and are inclusive to be polite about it, but we are privy to more stupidity of all kinds from what people to believe right through to behaviours that years ago would have been frowned upon and not allowed to continue. So its no surprise that we have these people in the magickal world really.

Of course I say this as if I am totally within the norm in society, I doubt that many people hearing that I talk to things I and they cannot see would think so (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Well we are insane, you and me and most of the members of this forum, ask a standard doctor, tell him of your occult intrest, I am sure he could werify that you were absolutly coko. Insanity is described as seeing the world different from the sientific and religious norm of the culture that that person live in, we all fit the bill. Also one man`s insanity can be another man`s revelation. I have met nutjob occultist plenty of time, some were just playing it, making a cool persona of an ultra powerful magick user online, but many of them belive in what they did, belived dearly and then, who are we to say their belifhs as worthless or insane, they are just eccentric.
