I don't pay attention to most people in the media enough to do mock long-distance diagnoses except for prominent theists and atheists, and virtually all of the theist speakers raise huge red flags on most of those symptoms (and others not on that index) which I noticed in them before I even saw that itemized list. Maybe it's an act and Craig is just the best mind-fucker on the planet. But if not...again, IF THE SHOE FITS. Maybe think a little deeper before you say something anyone of even average mental talent can refute with such ease? Besides, we understand that having all of those symptoms doesn't necessarily mean for sure he's genuinely got that underlying condition, it could be situational or a coincidence or he's unintentionally sending those messages across because he's poor at communicating or at least not without giving off an air of this or that. We're just concluding that based on observations and consistent patterns, he seems to fit the bill, among others in the same profession. We could be wrong but...that's in the category of less likely to be the case, what with how we know religion fucks with the minds of believers and the strong correlation between his behaviors and the symptoms as described.
This is all about you and Jeanne thinking you're qualified to make diagnoses like this when you're not.
For fuck's sake, why am I wasting my time talking to you two? Ugh, you're never going to understand. For fuck's sake you can read symptoms of many other things and apply them to yourself but it doesn't mean you have all those conditions. It takes a lot more than reading some symptoms and thinking "The shoe fits!" to diagnose someone.
Someone please save me from the idiots.
Bah, I'll save myself. Laters.
By the bar that you have set, there would never be a mental diagnosis made by anyone, ever. In particular, for narcissism, read what the Mayo had to say:
Quote:When to see a doctor
When you have narcissistic personality disorder, you may not want to think that anything could be wrong — doing so wouldn't fit with your self-image of power and perfection. People with narcissistic personality disorder are most likely to seek treatment when they develop symptoms of depression — often because of perceived criticisms or rejections.
If you recognize aspects of your personality that are common to narcissistic personality disorder or you're feeling overwhelmed by sadness, consider reaching out to a trusted doctor or mental health provider. Getting the right treatment can help make your life more rewarding and enjoyable.

If you don't see that there isn't something terribly wrong with Craig, then, please, explain what a "non-standard measure of probability" is?! It's just gibberish and the man Craig is just sick, in the head.
