Option #1 seems implausible to me. Really crazy people don't do great things like winning battles. Option #2 is a clever suggestion. I don't know how to rule it out, although I don't see why someone would lie. Non-believers claim the Apostles lied about the Resurrection. But why would someone lie to be put to death, as Joan of Arc and the Apostles were?--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 23:55, 17 February 2007 (EST)

Option #1 is implausible simply because a crazy person would probably not have been capable of what she accomplished-- craziness is usually not an asset!
Option #2 is implausible for the reason stated by Aschlafly above-- she wouldn't have lied to get herself killed.
OPtion #3 seems to be the most logical.
There is a great book about [[Joan of Arc]] by [[Mark Twain]]. I beleive she did actually hear voices. If she was lying, would she go to the point of death because she was lying? Then that would be saying she was lying AND she was crazy. There were many investigations made by the [[Vatican]] and the Pope of the time (I cant remeber his name) and found that what she spoke was true, therefore canonizing her and proclaimed a Saint and patron of [[France]]. Now you should read more on this if you are intrested.
