What does the Bible say about psychopaths?
What do religious people on this site think? I'll bet you all hate them for reasons pertaining to the stereotype even though that's not the majority of them just because the Bible tells you not to kill. I follow what Jesus Christ taught in the New Testament, and as I recall He said to love people. I wouldn't hate someone who is different from me. 2

Yes indeed it's rather shocking the way people are ' demonised 'by hand wringing pious Christians ; I also admire tremendously people that stick to the teachings of Jesus , I watched years ago my father put his new coat over a homeless man on a park bench and say no more about it as he thought that's what Christians were meant to do 1

Lets see, you say a psychopath has a lack of empathy and concern for other people, and don't have a good sense of when to feel bad for someone else. ABORTION? HELLO? I mean it is almost laughable to listen to people judging Christians while they are a thousand times more evil and lacking in humanity. How can Progressives even dare judge anyone else while they support the inhumanity of even no restriction abortions of viable babies? Can you spell HYPOCRITES? 1

Is it really possible to be so big of an idiot? What about betting your soul on the cause of you being correct? http://www.createdebate.com/debate/show/ In fact, specifically for idiocy on this level, I could, in return, bet this account. And I won't return to the website - your little gang can trip together without my criticism. You're a gibbering half wit god fully approves of abortion and indeed takes joy in it ....... ouch ๐ Hosea 9:11-16 Hosea prays for Godโs intervention. โEphraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer. Give them, 0 Lord: what wilt thou give? Give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts. . .Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yea though they bring forth, yet will I slay even the beloved fruit of their womb.โ Clearly Hosea desires that the people of Ephraim can no longer have children. God of course obeys by making all their unborn children miscarry. Is not terminating a pregnancy unnaturally โabortionโ? The Bible says you are a psychopath if you are on your way to Hell thinking you have the right to exist outside of Hell and are exonerated in death...the way the Bible puts it is when God says them that hate Him love death. Proverbs 8:36 But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death. If you think you do not need to be saved from Hell, and you go on and on insisting you have the right to exist outside of Hell, you're a suicidal psychopath. 1

It doesn't because the word only came into being in the 1900s god didn't see that coming did he ? ...German psychiatrist, J.L.A. Koch (1841-1908) (Figure 2), coined the term psychopastiche, or psychopath, in 1888. Koch claimed that psychopathy arose from a flaw in one's constitution at birth. Constitutional psychopathy became a popular disorder in the literature of the early 1900s.Apr 30, 2014 1

Dead wrong, mate. Please show us the exact chapter and verse where the Bible says that. Or even mentions the word psychopath? I've probably read the Bible more than you. So I'm now publically saying you are deliberately lying about that Bible you seem to hold so dear. I'll be waiting right here for you to give us that Bible tract. Did I ever tell you blokes me brother is an Anglican minister? Him and me studied the Bible a lot when we were lads wanking about back in England. Then we seemed to bugger off in very different paths. Yo, sinner, you need God's mercy, you need to come to terms with Him, agree with Him about His right to leave you in your sin in Hell forever, and find peace with Him to secure His forgiveness. If I were you I would not put it off....but you are you and will probably wake up in Hell and you sure won't be able to say God never tried to warn you, never tried to bring you in to reason with Him to be forgiven. I read about madness in the bible as in the insanity of Jesus , I have established using the bible that Jesus took part in theft , lied several times , disrespected Mary , compared a Canaanite woman to a dog and this all from the bible of which I'm an acclaimed authourity ๐๐๐l๐ Mary the mother of Jesus thought him insane ....... Mark 3:20 Then Jesus entered a house, and again a crowd gathered, so that he and his disciples were not even able to eat. 21 When his family heard about this, they went to take charge of him, for they said, โHe is out of his mind.โ (NIV) Regards psychopaths well god the father goes into psychopathic rages and the sheeple fully approve and take delight at his insanity . Essentially in the Old Testament God himself is a psychopath. He made all these people in his own image and is ultimately responsible for them but then he proceeds from time to time to whack whole groups of them for petty reasons or to send his favorite group against another to rape and kill. In the New Testament God apparently got some counseling and stopped smiting his ants, though he still threatens to from time to time. And from the viewpoint of Jesus anyone who arrogantly professes themselves better than anyone else and doesn't care about what happens to others is the psychopath and goes to hell for it. Keep this in mind you religious folks when you tell everyone different from you that you're saved and we're not and that we're all going to fry. Threat definition of psychopath is very complicated but it's a disability. People who are psychopaths have a lack of empathy and concern for other people. These people are stereotyped as murderers but a lot of them haven't killed anyone or caused any serious harm. They do find it hard to pay attention to people that are hurt and don't have a good sense of when to feel bad someone else. Your definition fits that of a sociopath. While a psychopath does share the attributes, they typically go a step further with violent outbursts resulting in said killings or harm to others. Like others have said, Christians would love them regardless of what they have done. This doesn't mean they like or respect them, but do still love them. That said, there's no reason to hate a sociopath just based on your definition alone. What do religious people on this site think? I'll bet you all hate them for reasons pertaining to the stereotype even though that's not the majority of them just because the Bible tells you not to kill. Why would I hate them? Although you mean Sociopath, that's still no reason to hate them. 1

Why would I hate them? Although you mean Sociopath, that's still no reason to hate them. My impression from a previous debate is that Christians hate Juggalos because they think they are a gang and identify as being part of a gang. Therefore, I would think they would hate someone diagnosed with psychopathy or sociopathy because they identify as something that is arguably like being a killer the way these people seem to look at it. I guess the answer to my question is that you guys don't hate people who identify as psychopaths, so I guess you aren't all total stereotypists on this site, which is good. 1
