Whats the deal with mentally ill people going on killing sprees?!
We hear today that the kid who killed 8 strangers in a shopping mall, then turned the gun on himself was depressed and felt like a failure. So help me out here - what brain synapses fired (or not) contributing to this kid killing innocent people? Seriously - you professionals help me out! If a person feels like he is a failure - does the knowledge/anticipation that he will now be "known" somehow motivate him to pull the trigger? Or does he simply lose all touch with reality - and suspend his internal checks and balances?
I appreciate the fact that mental illness is a complicated issue - one that can be found in MANY of our families. I wonder what our churches can do to help?
