Translation: The Jew Joshua, whom Christians call Jesus Christ, was a psychotic degenerate, and, to all appearances, a melancholic with systematized delirium. You know, Gentlemen, that in the East madmen have always had a sacred character, and that we still find in India and Egypt saints very similar to the Catholic saints of Latin decadence and the Middle Ages, the both are just psychopaths. If saints have become so rare in the civilized world, it is because they are locked up. I recently had the opportunity to hear in an asylum a delirious mystic of rare eloquence, and who would have had, without a doubt, considerable success in the time of the apostles. That a God was made of Joshua, as a prophet was made of Mohammed, who was an epileptic and a hallucinator, is nothing surprising for anyone familiar with Eastern customs.
