"Paul" was a grifter who misrepresented himself and created an overtly political subset of christian belief by focusing on a massive unexploited market - gentiles. That doesn't take mental issues or drug use. People are still doing it today.
Perfectly healthy, very wealthy people.
Similarly, there are politicians and warlords (redundant?) today who also claim to speak for or directly to god, the god that cosigns all of their ideas. The god that is with them when they attack, the god that loves what they love and hates what they hate. The god that promises that politician or warlords followers immense reward, and all of their enemies eternal flame.
There isn't anything in the alleged characters of paul or mo that requires, asks for, or suggests any novel explanation whatsoever.
