On another note; mental illness is perfectly normal, I have heard it affects about one in ten to one in four of us, I myself am a sufferer in a small way. I thought the days of hiding the mad relative were behind us. My Mother has contracted alzheimer's and my niece with her two children (3 and & 7) regularly visit her. I was just hearing on the radio a woman with tourettes syndrome that works with nursery children. Don't hide things away peoples little foibles actually make us more informed and stronger. The problem with a lot of christian culture is that it tries to ignore those things which do not fit its world view. Part of the reason I call myself atheist is that, it partly shows I am open to things. I personally have learnt a lot from people who others would dismiss as mad, and my interactions with them have enriched my life.
