Where is Rev. Al and Jesse Jackson

[Lenny]

It is one big way of how the professionals in psychology determine mental illness by deducting if the person's reasoning is logical or sensible.

Like believing in demons, angles, God and the Devil, are logical and sensible while giving little or no hard proof.

Or believing that Elvis Presley is alive and hiding or that UFOs from other planets do regularly visit our earth, those are logical and sensible reasonings that any sane person could have.

It is only when the person makes statements or has beliefs and or actions that are not logical or reasonable that then mental illness is suspected and probably does exist.

Like if Dahlmer had thought the victims were really just cattle and beef steaks and did not know they were human then that is not logical or sensible.

Things like murder, homosexuality and canibalism for Dahlmer did not show him to have any mental illness at all, but that he was just a cold violent criminal.

shhhh. Be vewy vewy quiet. This beast is approaching a moment of personal insight. When he does, he'll become explosively destructive and you don't want to be near when this happens. shhhhhh

Oh man, you are seriously warped!
In fact your line of thought is down right scary!
There was NOTHING logical or sensible in what Dahlmer did, it was about as far off the edge as you can get.

It is really scary that you have a position of authority, and I'm just glad that I don't live anywhere close to you. If the voters could read some of the sick preverted views that you have I doubt that you would ever hold another office. The world is worse off because you're alive.

I am only running for Office but I do not have any position as of yet until I win and then I will make a big improvement to the USA.

Mental illness has some specific conditions and Dahlmer was not mentally ill as far as I know of.

Having a mental illness is a debilitating illness and it makes the person suffers from it.

Of course he could have been depressed or some other mental condition but his crimes were not from a mental illness.

Once again you are spouting your idiocy. Your claims are as stupid as you are.

Dr. Fred Berlin - Director of the Sexual Disorders Clinic at John Hopkins University; Maudsley Hospital in London; DSM-III-R subcommitee for the definition of sexual disorders Dr. Berlin testified that Jeff Dahmer was unable to conform his conduct at the time that he committed the crimes because he was suffering from Paraphilia, or more specifically, Necrophilia, a mental disease. He described Dahmer's affliction as being a 'cancer of the mind', a 'broken mind', and thought it facile to insinuate that the man could simply resolve to stop thinking of sex with dead bodies and the thoughts would go away.

Dr. Carl Wahlstrom testified that 'Mr. Dahmer is a thirty-one year old white male with a long history of serious mental illness which was essentially untreated... His personality structure is extremely primitive,' and 'he has bizarre and delusional ideas.'

Even if the guy was mentally ill then still the crimes were not in themselves a sign of mental illness, because murder, homosexuality and canibalism do have some logical and reasonable basis for them. History is full of such things. If those actions dictate mental illness then Alexander the Great would be considered as mentally ill too.

A crime that would show a mental illness would be like believing one can fly and jumping off a building - because it is not reasonable nor logical to believe it. And suicide or even attempted suicide is a crime but the person in that case was not committing suicide on purpose as he thought he could fly - thus the action shows a sign of mental illness.

That was my point.

I believe in angles. Why I did some woodwork this weekend and made some rather nice ones if I do say so myself.

Did you know that the sum of all the angles in a triangle equals 180 degrees?

A belief in an unprovable God is an irrational belief, there is nothing rational about it. To have an irrational belief in something so important clearly pre-supposes a great deal of irrationality.

There is plenty of proof that there is a big creator that many people call God and it is plenty enough proof for many of us, but even a belief in an "unprovable God" is still not an irrational belief by accepted standards.

Now if some one has a belief in a God of rain or God of thunder or such other Gods then that really is a rational thing for human beings to have a belief in too.

Religion, or lack therof, does not by itself make human beings any more irrational, or moral, or intelligent, or logical, or violent, or any other abstract feature of human nature that has been present ever since human society was formed.

I definately do not agree with that above. Religion does give any person a big advantage in all those things you listed. I would be one more of the sheep to the slaughter if it were not for my religion and I love it.
