This is a really weird thread. As history it is mildly interesting butt what is the point of comparing Caligula to Christ?
The subject of this thread is Caligula's insanity. In my opinion a person should only be considered crazy if diagnosed as such, by psychological professionals.
Psychology as a science did not exist in Caligula's time, and all the author of the article in the OP did was list behaviours they considered weird. All I did was compare it to Christian behaviours I consider weird.
It's possible that Caligula was crazy, but just listing a few quirks and horrible deeds which Caligula may or may not have committed is not enough to establish his craziness.
At least that's my opinion.
