During my research, I stumbled across an amazing story related to the three Jesus story. It was by an anonymous internet user that I thought I'd share here:

I used to work in a mental hospital, and we inadvertently performed much the same experiment.

It was a very busy day, and we had several new admissions. Things were getting tight on the admissions unit, so we had to move some people around.

During the shift report we suddenly realized that we had put two men in the same room who both thought they were Jesus (it's pretty much the most popular delusion, so it wasn't unusual to have a couple of Messiahs around).

We went pale. Competing delusions can turn very ugly. A couple of us raced to the room and peeked in. The two men were deep in conversation with a Bible open, but they were smiling and didn't seem too tense. We tiptoed away and decided to just keep an eye on things.

About a half hour later, they emerged to announce that they had discussed the matter, prayed a bit, re-read some parts of the New Testament, and had come to the conclusion that Jesus B was the True Messiah, and Jesus A was actually John the Baptist.

Didn't have a single problem with them, and the two actually remained fast friends as they got back on their meds and recovered.
