The Origins of Homosexuality

[Banjo]

They are evil. Not all mentally ill people are evil; they don't all cause harm to others. Not all evil people are mentally ill; they can cause harm to others in perfectly sane ways.

If you are evil, something is wrong with you. So yes, they would be mentally ill.

You don't have to be evil to be mentally ill, but you do have to be mentally ill to be evil. Do you think sane people commit serial murder?

And, btw, they commit evil acts. That doesn't mean they are evil people. It means they are sick people.

 

[Banjo]

You don't have to be evil to be mentally ill, but you do have to be mentally ill to be evil. Do you think same people commit serial murder?

And, btw, they commit evil acts. That doesn't mean they are evil people. It means they are sick people.

Oh yes, John Wayne Gacy was completely sane while he killed all these young men and stuffed them into his basement stinking up the whole neighbourhood.

Excellent example.

If I'm not mistaken, serial killers are not insane in the legal sense of the word. They (the majority) don't suffer from delusions but they suffer from a profound lack of empathy so they are unable to relate to people on anything more than a superfical level. And yes, they'd be mentally ill as they have no empathy for others.

I see you beat me to it.

No, they usually aren't legally insane. Clinically, you bet your bibby they are. Most of them do suffer delusions. Many are in full blown psychosis when they commit their crimes.

Yep. Ed Gein was a real weird one. In fact, Norman Bates from the movie, "Psycho" was based on him. Wasn't he committed to a mental institution just like Norman Bates in the movie was?

That's something to think about. Some examples?

Some that I've read about seem to suffer from mistrust of women and they think they're evil. Would that be an example of a delusion?

Some that I've read about seem to suffer from mistrust of women they think they're evil. Would that be an example of a delusion?

Ted Bundy. He often pretended to be disabled or injured to win over young and attractive women. Then he would kill them. However, sometimes, if he can't help it, he just go to their houses at night and bludgeoned them to death. It's the sane thing to do.

True. It's not a normal thing for a man to do. But I don't see any example of delusions here unless you're referring to his distrust of women. Some of his acts were ... unspeakable.

 

[Reba]

Yet it's "insulting" to be lumped into the same category as that of a dog. You don't have much respect for life of all created by God.

Just because I recognize the difference between humans and animals doesn't mean I don't have a respect for life.

I don't know if you were aware, but Ted Bundy was a necrophiliac. He was a very dominating person. He had to have control. From what I remember, he went after women who resembled his first girlfriend. He never got over her, so he started killing people.

You certainly don't if you believe that your species superior to all of the species, which we aren't.

oh I knew. That's what I meant by his unspeakable crimes.

If you are evil, something is wrong with you. So yes, they would be mentally ill.

Not all evil people are mentally ill. Not all mentally ill people are evil.

If someone is evil, yes, something is wrong with that person. That person is not right.

Right and wrong, good and evil are moral descriptions.

Yes, humans are superior to animals. That doesn't mean animals can't be valued for what they are.

 

[Banjo]

Not all evil people are mentally ill. Not all mentally ill people are evil.

If someone is evil, yes, something is wrong with that person. That person is not right.

Right and wrong, good and evil are moral descriptions.

Sorry, but if you are evil, you are not right in the head.
