Opinion of Missionary Dating

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

The jmcfst kinda sorta did that with his wife, IIRC  It's just weird.  I don't think he started dating her for that reason but it became mission #1 with him to convert her.

I'm about 80% sure that jmcfst's wife converted him.  Didn't he have an "I used to be such a sinner until God introduced me to my wife!" backstory?

He had a schizophrenic episode in (I think) 1992, in which he claimed that Jesus Christ actually "spoke" to him.

Didn't know that you were a psychiatrist, or that you diagnosed over the internet.  If Christ could appear on the road to Damascus, there is no reason he could not do so on the road to Houston.  Now if jm had continued to have those visions I'd be inclined to agree with your diagnosis, but for a single episode, I'd be in the skeptical yet not entirely dismissive camp about such things.

Somebody pontificating about this subject who doesn't know what the 'road to Damascus' refers to is rich.

One doesn't need to have seen (or even heard about) every episode of Star Trek, for instance, to be able to ridicule the whole thing (and it's ardent fans, for that matter).

What happened to Paul on the road to Damascus is a significant enough event that I would expect that anyone who has even a passing familiarity with Christianity to catch the allusion.  Indeed, the only event recounted in the whole New Testament that is indisputably more important than the Road to Damascus is the Crucifixion of Jesus.  (I'd personally place several other episodes as more important than Paul's conversion, but I wouldn't say that those who disagree with me on that point are idiots and fools.)
