I sincerely do not know the answer to this and want you all's opinions. Was Joan of Arc deluded about her voices and her mission in general and if so to what extent? If you want you can put it on a scale of 1-10 with 1 being absolute delusion and 10 being the opposite of absolute delusion. I hope you do this AND write a few sentences.

There's no way to really say for sure, but some of her answers at the trial when they were trying to trap her and her strong faith... it seems inspired to me. Just a feeling but I think that the visions were probably real. Her wikipedia article mentions that there were no real reasons to assume that he was deluded, insane, or had some sort of disease... and yet from the sounds of it "experts" are quick to try to explain away such events without admitting the possibility that maybe she DID hear voices or was directed by God.
But yeah, reading some of her responses at the trial when they were trying to trap her, reminds me of something Biblical.
