"Imagine - if you can - not having a conscience, none at all, no feelings of guilt or remorse no matter what you do, no limiting sense of concern of the well-being of strangers, friends, or even family members. Imagine no struggles with shame, not a single one in your whole life, no matter what kind of selfish, lazy, harmful, or immoral action you had taken. And pretend that the concept of responsibility is unknown to you, except as a burden others seem to accept without question, like gullible fools."

(from http://www.cix.co.uk/~klockstone/spath.htm)

Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, Ed Gein, many sociopaths also happened to be serial killers, and some of their victims were from God-loving families.

Is one of God's ultimate tests to survive the sociopaths, specifically homicidal ones, that lurk among us in society? Not merely endure their presence, but sniff them out and physically survive their assaults?

In my country, everyone is like that, basically all of europe.

Not many killings are due to apathy....lack of caring about life......

Very thought provoking question. When one makes a choice they are drawing on their conscience. Now the question is how well formed was that conscience.



Conscience must be informed and moral judgment enlightened. A well-formed consience is upright and truthful. It formulates its judgments according to reason, in conformity with the true good willed by the wisdome of the Creator. The education of conscience is indespensable for human beings who are subjeted to negative influences and tempted by sin to prefer their own judgment and to reject authoritative teachings.

How about you give credit for all these folks to the one who caused them to fall away, satan the great deciever. remember God allows free choice, these men chose to do what they did based on their own evil beliefs so give the credit where it is due, either man and his own selfish desires, or satan who is the father of lies.
