Well that's not compelling at all in relation to making Moses a schizo. You just added another or two of suppositions to get to the previous supposition.

How do you figure? You limited the possibilities to 3 situations and showed how in none of them would Moses have been schizophrenic. I explained how those are not the only 3 possibilities (or even the 3 most likely) and that in some Moses could still be deranged/confused.

It's hard to say whether a guy, who may or may not have existed, from thousands of years ago in the Middle East, was schizo or not. But through the ages, there's always been a fine line between "talking to god" and having a mental disorder. I guess if you think Moses was sane, then you have to believe everything in the Torah really happened. And that's tough to do.

Correct. And your new fourth scenario involved another group of gullible authors a generation removed from Moses (cf Moses Burial and subsequent writing of the Torah). That's another layer of supposition removed from Moses himself - who is the very subject of this debate.
