You sure about that?

Any guesses as to what % of inmates on Death's Row have brain damage, schizophrenia, etc.?  Hint: It's a number between 1-100, and it's greater than 99)

Well, like I said. It's not up for me to make that judgement in any sense. I believe God fully knows someone's heart and whether they harbour a lot of evil or are just insane, exactly what their culpability is, and to what degree, etc etc.
"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."
