What about insane people? What about people who were sexually or physically abused, or who have brain damage? What if THOSE people, who did not have control over how they arrived at that state, do those things?

Shouldn't God have healed them so they'd have true free will, rather than having their entire life's experience filtered through a distorted lens?

Insane people can. I said that.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
