Immanuel Can: Let me tell you a story, a true story. It’s about a Christian man. Unfortunately
for this poor fellow, he was also a diagnosed schizophrenic. He was taking
medication supplied by the government, and so long as he was on his meds he was
functioning normally. But then his program was discontinued and his medication
cut off. Without it he became delusional, and in that delusion he came to
believe that his son could only be saved by being killed.
Operating in that mindset, he attacked and nearly killed his
own child.
