Re: Many Professions Genuine Also
To the surprise of many, Berkowitz appears truly genuine in his conversion.
that's nice. he didn't kill people because he wasn't saved. he killed people because he's a sociopath. finding jesus doesn't change that.
But I suppose that you're right that we should not sit here and judge the man only to come to faulty conclusions about his alleged conversion.
i'm sure paris hilton really found god, too.
whackos.

Re: Many Professions Genuine Also
Berkowitz may very well be a sociopath. It is possible that somebody could be disingenuous about the whole thing, because characteristics about socipathy include being totally kind one moment, then stabbing you in the neck in the next moment. But something else about sociopaths is that they are so totally self-absorbed. Could a true sociopath keep this charade up this long while in jail? I doubt it. I've met quite a few sociopaths over the years.
cute, but yes. do you really think that something other than being a nasty bastard made him kill people?

Re: Many Professions Genuine Also
But at the same time, don't you believe that people, even if few and far between, can amend their ways?
not serial killers. they don't do it cause they don't like individual people. they do it because they have a deep need to commit repeated, ritualized killings. it's a particular variety of mental illness, and you can't change mental illness by choice.
