Debate:Did Joan of Arc truly hear voices?

Yes, I believe so as given:

• She didn't have any holes in her personality so schizophrenia isn't very likely.
• She was very practical (which was something missing from the nobility and The Church at this time period) and never had any flaws in her accounts they all fit perfectly into another, so I don't believe she was lying.
• She didn't have one hallucination after another once, sometimes three times, a day which would be very unlikely. That would still not explain how these voices simply stopped after she denied to have them.

The only logical conclusion is that she did hear voices from The Archangel Michael delivering God's message.

Very, very interesting posting. But why would the Archangel take sides in the war concerning Joan of Arc? And why would divine voices drive her to lose and be viciously murdered? Did Jesus ever hear voices in this manner?

I don't have a clear opinion about this but do have these questions. (Be sure to mark this page as "Watched" so you can be alerted when it changes.)--Aschlafly 21:48, 17 February 2007 (EST)

I don't understand the reasoning here as to why schizophrenia "isn't very likely." Dpbsmith 22:06, 17 February 2007 (EST)
