So it's completely sane to murder 9 people then?



You are speaking in absolutes, and the only absolute is that there are absolutely no absolutes.:P

Then there is vodka.

***Do you not agree with me that someone who would sit there premeditate a murder then carry it out is mentally ill?



Absolutely not.

Agreed. Mentally ill and evil are separate things. It would be nice if people would stop mixing the two.

Roommate Dalton Tyler told ABC News that Roof was “planning something like that for six months.”

“He was big into segregation and other stuff,” Tyler said. “He said he wanted to start a civil war. He said he was going to do something like that and then kill himself.”
Christon Scriven, a friend from a trailer park in Lexington, South Carolina, where Roof was a regular visitor, told the New York Daily News that the alleged gunman had outlined his horrific plans last week.

“He flat out told us he was going to do this stuff,” said Scriven, who is black. “He was looking to kill a bunch of people.”

Scriven said he and their other friends assumed he had been joking. “He’s weird. You don’t know when to take him seriously and when not to,” he said.

The correct answer is...BOTH.;)

Skyrad, who is I believe a Muslim, has provided scripture that teaches forgiveness and condemns vengeance and retribution. Perhaps you, being a good Christian and all, can provide us with scripture (preferably New Testament) that advocates execution by firing squad, death by anal sodomy, or any of the other courses of action proposed by yourself or other Conservative Christians in this thread.

Well history of mass shootings has shown the people behind it usually had mental illnesses so I wil conceded that yes there are evil people capable of sane killings I guess, but these are facts here and it shows they usually are mentally ill.

You left out:

Romans 13 American Standard Version (ASV)

13 Let every soul be in subjection to the higher powers: for there is no power but of God; and the powers that be are ordained of God.

2 Therefore he that resisteth the power, withstandeth the ordinance of God: and they that withstand shall receive to themselves judgment.

3 For rulers are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. And wouldest thou have no fear of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise from the same:

4 for he is a minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is a minister of God, an avenger for wrath to him that doeth evil.

5 Wherefore ye must needs be in subjection, not only because of the wrath, but also for conscience' sake.

6 For this cause ye pay tribute also; for they are ministers of God's service, attending continually upon this very thing.

See my post #209 above.

There are two different concepts at play here. The first is personal and spiritual. If a person harms you, the Christian, then you are instructed to forgive that person. If you hold a grudge and maintain the pain it will take precedence in your thinking. It will harden your emotions and make it more difficult to exercise your will to remain in relationship with God through Christ.

In the second sense it is social and in the physical realm of law. Evil must be and is punished, even unto death, by the authority established by God for the good of mankind.

I stand with lawrocket, there is mentally ill and there is evil. There is a spiritual world that advocates forgiveness and there is a physical world that requires punishment.

There is always the possibility for salvation. Ted Bundy was executed for his murders but he died a Christian.

I, being a compassionate conservative, call for the death penalty. Put him alongside James Holmes in CO and take them both out at the same time; use a firing squad, with .50 caliber rifles.



I somehow do not think the Lord would approve... he has a rather different perspective.[:/]

***>When someone goes out and kills people like this it's the mental issue doing the killing . . .

Unless he is black or Arab. Then it is terrorism or just plain evil.



Your right the media does play those tunes, and it resonates with whatever viewership is watching it.

Do you not agree with me that someone who would sit there premeditate a murder then carry it out is mentally ill?

Is racial hatred a mental illness recognized by the shrinks???

It seems some of his fellow travelers are now turning their backs on this dipshit.

WTF????

How you can tie that to what I wrote is a leap I didn't even think you were capable of. C'mon professor, you're better than that.

Besides, that was 1861, last time I checked, this is 2015. Did you discover time travel?

Yes. Mentally ill people don't worry me. Sociopaths do.

Wait.

Sociopaths aren't mentally ill?

The Confederate flag, which still flies at the SC Capitol in 2015, dates to the 1860s and symbolizes the racist views expressed by the VP of the Confederacy. Roof had the flag symbol on his vehicle. If you are unable to see the linkage it's not my fault.

Not really. One can expand it and say "mentally ill." Sociopath is more of a personality type. Psychopath is also kinda interchangeable. Watch Dexter. A great example. He feels no emotion for anyone.

Not mental illness. Compared to so.eone hearing voices.

Sociopathy is not a mental illness and neither is psychopathology. Both types can be very rational in their thought processes. They just do not care how their behavior affects others.

***Yea it sucks, but don't blame him he's the victim here. You respond to your environment, and yes the US is full of shit stains that would rather steal and kill than get a job and work. We were in the grocery store Tuesday getting food for the baseball game and when we got to the front of the store to check out there was about 9 cop cars everywhere. They had just been robbed.

My house has been broken into 2 times in 10 years, and another time just the storage shed was pried open. The fire station where I work at was robbed once and computers were taken, and another station was held at knife point until the guys working agreed to drive the guy across town and drop him off.

My inlaws were robbed by the home health nurse that was taking care of my invalid father in law. A couple months ago my coworker had his front door kicked in and tv and Xbox stolen. I can name dozens of other recent incidents. And this isn't even talking about the violent crimes and murders.



Fortunately I live and work on the south side of Chicago, so I have no such problems.

Still trying to sell that Bad Bad Leroy Brown address? Indiana is on the south side of Chicago as well.
