Thankyou Mark, I have read much over the years about serial killers, crimes and the psychology behind some crimes. I am interested in your answers because I have found over the years, every angle has to be looked at when trying to grasp an understanding on particular crimes and the person behind them.

it is not always as cut and dry ( you mention the pushed too far bit) and although I believe the most heinous criminal should be looked away from society forever, there has to be an understanding of what makes a person do these crimes....I say there has to be an understanding, because I fear under the "wrong" circumstances, many people are capable of committing a crime.

Noting that many of the worse serial criminals in history have had head traumas, is a frightening thought that this could happen to the "normal" man if he ever had a head trauma. We know it can change a mans personality.

I am not religious, guess you have gathered that by now, but I am interested when reading about how certain criminals can "reason" with a man of god and = how a man of god can reason with them, when there was a time when the criminals "reasoning" went so wrong, not only affecting their lives which fell way out of what is acceptable in society, but which changed the lives of their victims, their victims families and created much debate, hatred and fear within society.

Thank you Mark, all noted. :tu:

There is a lot we don't understand, hopefully in the future we will learn more. People who are a danger to society need to be locked up, but they need to be treated humanely. One reason is that some (perhaps many) in prison are innocent of the crimes they were convicted for. For instance a man was just released for a murder he was wrongly convicted for in 1975. The same goes for death row. How many are actually innocent of their crimes of murder? Most no doubt are guilty, but DNA testing has freed a number of them who had been on death row for many years.

I believe that we can be influenced by God's grace, which leads to healing and more life, or by others forces (Christians name them devils, demons and Satan) over our lives as well. I know people who have been attacked by unknown forces that were malevolent. True many don't believe in such things, and others go way overboard in giving such forces too much power etc.

The battle is in the human heart, it is for our very inner lives for our souls. I know this is not a popular concept, but our lives do have meaning and because of the Resurrection of Jesus, I believe that we are called to follow him. We can't earn love from human beings, it is a gift, the same goes from God, revealed in Jesus, it is freely given, we can't earn it, all we can do is open up our hearts. Even then, it is often a slow journey for we live in a world that is filled with suffering, darkness as well as light and love. It is easy to lose sight of the fact that we are indeed pilgrims on a journey, so our lives do have meaning and our actions do as well.

I believe that NDE's are important. They are not new, but today their are millions who have been brought back from death, and religion, or belief or lack of does not dictate who has them. In these experiences there is a life review where all actions done for or against others are felt completely. It would seem that even though we live in a world that understands the concept of justice, but something that is very rarely achieved, is in reality something that happens at death. Atheist who have NDE's for the most part change their perspective on life.

So human consciousness is a deep mystery, something we can learn about, but may never really understand. Can a conscious mind really study itself? So serial killers are they influenced by outside forces, I believe they can be. By others from their past as well as spiritual forces. I think the experience of the Catholic Church in such areas is something too easily swept aside by modern mind sets. Also in every culture the demonic is experienced, in the New Testament it is dealt with as well.

I don't expect you to agree with much of this my friend......kind of a mild, peaceful rant LOL.

Peace

Mark
