Mentally ill trying to be "Christians"?

Mentally ill trying to be "Christians"?
Is "Christianity" only for the mentally sane? You know the "relationship with Jesus Christ" that involves praying and attempting to live in the manner that you feel that "Jesus" is leading you.

How many horrific crimes have been committed because the person felt that they were doing the will of God? How do the "Christians" reconcile the inability of "God" to lead the mentally ill in the right direction. Is God incapable? Does God take a hands off approach? Is modern "Christianity" a dangerous religion for the mentally unstable. I mean it no longer emphasizes the Ten Commandments or the teachings of Jesus. It now puts the majority of the emphasis on a schizophrenic imagined "relationship" with the make believe spirit of Jesus Christ -- the "Holy Spirit". Christians argue that they live a "spirit led" life.

How about somebody who is not mentally insane but maybe mentally limited. Somebody with Down's Syndrome, or mental retardation? Do they really have the judgment to make good decisions based upon their feelings? Really what I am asking is if modern Christianity is dangerous.
