The fear of external justice, i.e., God/eternal damnation, is the source of the psychotic behavior (your belief, not mine) for which you complain. It is the initial state of the theist relative to your perspective. Put another way, it is part and parcel of the set of axioms that he/she already possesses.
Saying then, that fear of eternal damnation is a remedy for such behavior, is again, simply nonsensical and circualr at best.
It's nothign to do with the Constitution.
It has everything to do with the Constitution. Both you and the theist are free to believe whatever the hell you want to believe...even your assumption the theist is psychotic, or the theists assumption that you are.
Expressions of that belief beyond mere words however, may be a problem, such as advocating societal restrictions, which is the only issue I have with you.
Now, it may not have been your intention to portray your reasoning as such, but then, many of us simply do not think before we speak,.

I'm sure in some cases it is. A perfectly normal person can clearly be driven to madness by an overabundance of hellfire and brimstone.

I'm not advocating "society" putting psychotics in mental handcuffs. I'm saying it's important for society that they *are* so handcuffed.
