Do we have psychopaths in out mist?

[StrongWaters]

"Psychopathy (/saɪˈkɒpəθi/) (or sociopathy (/ˈsoʊsiəˌpæθi/)) is defined as either an aspect of personality or as a personality disorder, characterized by enduring dissocial or antisocial behavior, a diminished capacity for empathy or remorse, and poor behavioral controls or fearless dominance. There are various definitions which are only partly overlapping and sometimes appear contradictory." Wikipedia

You know in the part you bolded you described the god of the bible perfectly?

By enduring dissocial or antisocial behavior.
-God rarely had contact and one only with one tribe at that before christ, and has not communicated directly with any person since paul.

A diminished capacity for empathy or remorse
-God ordered the genocide ofMidianites, Canaanites and Amalekites, to be slaughter with mercy and is angry when mercy is shown to the Amalekites. He has yet to show any remorse.

Poor behavioral controls or fearless dominance
God demonstrates both.
In genesis he destroys the tower of babel and scatter the poeple to the four winds because he was afraid of them. In genesis he also killed everyone on earth except moah and his family, because they didn't do what he wanted.

You cannot prove something using a concept you deny as true. I do believe it is true. Galatians 5 shows the difference between the centered heart and the Psychopath. It's the fruit that revels the heart.

Galatians 5

19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

The subject of this thread is unsocial behavior exhibited by the Psychopath. Clearly, it's an issue with the Heart. The Bible is the authority on the subject. God is the law regulating the thief. If we love others, no law is necessary. Love is the antidote to hate. You can't put out fire with more fire.

Taking the name requires taking the character of what the name represents. In the cases you are speaking of, the name was taken in vain. Christianity is founded on the teachings of Jesus, which were none of those things you mention. I will agree that there are many who are self-righteous. This is the same as wickedness. It has been my experience that most Atheists come across as self-righteous and judgmental of others. It is also true that many Christians are the same. This does not imply that the name and character of Christ is the same thing. To say so is simple prejudice.

Do all African Americans grow up in single parent homes simply because many do? No. You paint with a wide brush and ignore the billions that are out serving others every day.

Who was first to show up on the scene in Joplin after the tornadoes? Christians. Who is still there cleaning up today? You guessed it.

There you go again, I promise one thing, many you atheists you meet in your life you likely have no idea they are atheists. Why? Because most keep it to ourselves and don't wear it on our chests. You on the other hand, since your a chrisitian that has come to tell us atheist how we are wrong, I have no doubt you make it clear your a christian.
What he is talking about is Christianity as a institution. If that tornado hit in Saudi Arabia it would've been a Muslim organization the scene, if it hit in Germany a atheist organization on the scene. It just happens to be the American Midwest is like 95% christian.
Speaking about calling other judgmental, didn't you just say most athiests are psychopaths?

Billions and billions of people spending hundreds of billions on others every year. I did not make this thread. It was made to make the Christian look like a psychopath. Clearly, the hearts of Christians are right with the lawgiver. Giving is the key to faith and faith is taking the name (Character).

Pride in a job well done is not pride over others. It's doing the right thing and appreciating the one that gave you the chance.
