There’s been a number of listed school shootings, yet none of them seem to mention this one, which took place before Columbine:

Some men aren’t looking for anything logical, like money. They can’t be bought, bullied, reasoned or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

My point exactly. By labeling choices as a ‘sickness’ or a ‘condition’ we let people off the hook for consciously choosing evil.
Then there’s the whole issue of living in truth.

Does it? I don’t know. But I do think the concept of psychopathy is imprecise and. largely incoherent. The term is over-used. A person who commits mass murder may or may not be a psychopath — how can we ever know for sure? — but he is certainly evil. There is, to my way of thinking, something about labeling a person a psychopath that sort of lets him off the hook. Not so labeling him evil, which is also more accurate. IMO, of course.

‘The culture doesn’t cause psychopathy.’

Shadow… try reading the above.
We inculcate a disdain for the good beautiful and true, exalt the degrading destructive and self-glorifying all the while pretending evil is either imaginary or tameable. We perpetuate lies and mock the character traits of civilization. And we don’t punish wrong or reward right… even justice is inverted.

Don’t be so quick to disregard the loss of Christian fundamental truth as the underpinnings of liveable society.

The culture doesn’t cause psychopathy.
