" This guy was seriously crazy and in the scariest of ways. I was accustomed to the homeless and the panhandlers and they, while annoying, were mostly harmless. This guy was different. He was full of rage and wild delusions. His very body language and the look in his eyes foreshadowed someone with violent and homicidal tendencies. Shortly after this incidence I stopped seeing him hanging around. I like to think he was finally institutionalized.

And as I said, sometimes crazy is just plain crazy.

People who are truly psychotic and schizophrenic suffer from all sorts of delusions. Some of them manifest in delusions of a religious nature. "

Close enough and sadly right on about the delusions of a religious nature. If you could provide an exact timetable for these events it would serve as a pretext for a "where were you the afternoon of..."

Then again if this guy's in an institution somewhere instead of taking little kids out on field trips as part of a job in the ministry and then publicly lambasting one of them for uh... having an accident... then I suppose I'll have to concede that we're talking about two different people and that your guy has never been near (maybe I better not mention the town somewhere north of where I live).

Whether this is a good thing or a bad thing I can't say.

I assume that you had the good judgment to never have taken this guy shooting with you.

The difference is that while the nutty brother may think God is telling him to do something, there is nothing in Christianity that supports this. Islam, on the other hand, is full of “orders from Allah” to kill or destroy the infidels.

Islam is basically a sort of institutionalized form of psychosis, founded on the hallucinations of a nutty 7th century Arab, and people who fall into its sphere, particularly if they are already somewhat unstable, will be easily swept into the psychotic group project of Islam.
