Man is a Religious Animal. Man is the only Religious Animal. He is the only animal that has the True Religion — several of them. He is the only animal that loves his neighbor as himself and cuts his throat if his theology isn't straight.

Schizophrenia can be productive:
'Voices' help Ithacan write Superman comics

You might think writing stories around a character as powerful and well-known as Superman would get difficult after a while. Roger Stern, a comic-book writer who lives in Ithaca, says he's never had that problem because he hears voices in his head.
...

If he heard the voice of Jesus instead of George Reeves, he could make a lot more money on the evangelical circuit.

I'm sure Roger Stern can take a joke, but I hope nobody fails to read the linked article and comes away thinking Stern is actually schizophrenic.

On the other hand, part of DC Comics mythology is that DC writers receive their scripts in dreams which are actually vibes from parallel universes where Batman, & alia, really exist.
