True, or just lying, perhaps for attention or money, or both.  But, mental illness would explain why (a few) of the so-called disciples died "for their faith".  Remember, thousands of early Christians were martyred for their faith, but just as many also recanted.

I don’t see how the title of the thread, relates to the video. Certainly it doesn’t seem to follow from the video that people who have had a religious experience are mentally ill.
