Psychopaths and sociopaths are not insane ... Psychopaths are not crazy, mentally ill or nuts! They are rational, normal people who have accepted the implications of Darwinian evolution that their high school teachers taught them. They have what is called a defiled conscience. This means that their conscience has been taught its ok to do bad stuff to others if that's what you want to do. This is why they feel no remorse, not because they have no conscience. It is impossible for a psychopath to be a Christian. Indeed they are usually atheists! They view themselves as their own highest power and god! When mentally ill people confess their sins to Jesus and repent of their sinful lives and put their faith and trust in God, they will be almost instantly cured of mental illness.

Death is a departure to the spirit world, not extinction ... And there arose a great uproar; and some of the scribes of the Pharisaic party stood up and began to argue heatedly, saying, "We find nothing wrong with this man; suppose a spirit or an angel has spoken to him?" Sadducees deny angel & spirit but Paul & Pharisees accept them The word "spirit" refers to departed spirits of men. It cannot refer to God as a Spirit, for they believed God is a Spirit.
