I think we can confidently nail it down to 1889.

January 3, to be exact. Not sure if the story about the horse flogging is accurate, but it's the only catalyst I've been able to find.

It seems pretty clear that went insane - whatever the catalyst - on that date. He wrote nothing of consequence after that.

Prior to his mental collapse, he could be described as just…quirky.

Tran Trong Duyet. The warden of the infamous Hanoi Hilton prison in Vietnam where John McCain was held as a captive. He endorsed John McCain when he ran for office in 08.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
