What’s the difference? It’s very simple: psychopaths don’t feel guilt about hurting other people, but sadists take active pleasure in committing horrors that civilized people can’t even look at. In his pornographic novels the Marquis de Sade wrote about taking sexual pleasure from torturing and even murdering innocents. That is where we get the term “sadism.”

ISIS is a sadistic war cult. It attracts people who take joy in torturing women and children. You can easily see the difference in their facial expressions. Psychopaths have “flat” expressions, like Vladimir Putin. Sadists show a kind of demonic joy when others are suffering. They are the classic face of human evil.

Like the picture of the politicians signing the UnAffordable Healthcare Act.
Like judges ruling on the right to sodomite ‘marriage’.
Very good example.
It’s called the Teddy Kennedy and Bloomberg expression, although the former did not participate in the signing ceremony.
And then there is the Shumer stare — most democrats aquire it after being in congress awhile.
The Koran tells the Muslims to torture and take pleasure in it - which is also the work of demons in the Muslim hell, and in many Christians’ concept of Hell.
Bingo. Satan and his minions are in full cry in today's world. All religions that do not preach Christ Jesus as the only source of salvation are demonic as are the sadistic people of this world who enjoy the pain of others.
It will get far worse before it gets better. But, rest assured, God is just. The righteous will be rewarded and the evil will be punished, and their punishment will be eternal.
Excellent essay. Thank you for posting.
Islam is satanic. Notice that the deeper you go, the worse human being you become.
It is the only religion I can think of where the devout become monsters. There are a lot of religions where the devout become a bit odd, but only Islam turns them into beasts.
Liberals are angry at Jehovah because He doesn't approve of the way they live, ergo they invent a world in which He is insulted by their disbelief and expressions of anger toward him in ways that glorify the human as god. The derive great pleasure in punishing His followers. That said, Liberals don't know it yet but they have a god (Satan) who whispers instructions to them. They just don't admit it...yet. Remember what Satan said to Adam and Eve, "you shall be as gods." They are just taking this statement to heart.
Muslims likewise hate Jehovah (being as they are followers of Satan). They too are offered a world in which their expression of anger is ritualized by the edicts of the Koran. Their ritualistic expression of hate gives them great pleasure.
Look at the facial expression of the man holding up the heads. His affect isn't flat, it's happy.
He looks like a fisherman holding up two beautiful salmon...
Looks like one of the workers at the local health food store.
Sadism in Islamic cultures is used as a training technique in control...
How can the fight to defend the Western world even begin when we are too frightened to hoist that charge against ISLAM?
The division between psychopath & sadist is not as neat & simple as the author makes out. The essence of the psychopath is that he/she experienced unbearable pain so early in life that he/she disconnected from his/her emotions. Thus the adult psychopath feels an extremely limited emotional range—mostly anger vs non-anger. [They feel pleasure, but pleasure is not an emotion.]
The psychopath is typically not content with this extraordinarily limited emotional range. As a result, many if not most seek a wider range through intense vicarious emotional outlets. I.e.: a psychopath may, & usually at routine intervals does, inflict extreme emotional, physical, or some combination thereof, pain on the victim of choice. The victim’s tears, anguish & other displays of authentic emotion express, in at least a limited way, one of the prime emotions the psychopath cannot experience first hand. The true psychopath may elicit other emotions in those closest to him/her as well, in order to vicariously at least witness, since he/she cannot feel, those emotions too.
I.e.: psychopathy can mimic sadism to a disturbing degree. I would trust Krauthammer’s judgment on the ISIS majority more than an untrained diagnosis. Islam is notorious for producing psychopaths. The children witness & experience, at extremely tender ages, precisely the kinds of horror and pain that are most prone to create psychopathy. [Think of the children forced to witness their mother’s death by stoning. There are many other examples as well.]
Any time someone accuses Obama of being a psychopath, we now have a counterargument. Obama takes extreme pleasure in what he does to us, so he's not a psychopath.
bttt
Isn’t that amazing?!
mohammedans are real sickos ...
I think some people are born psychopaths, without conscience and without empathy. This is a challenge to Christian faith.
Some children are born at risk, and their experiences push them over the edge.
People can be trained to be sadists - to dehumanize others and glory in destroying them. And people can be trained to enjoy Roman circuses, or bull-baiting, or any number of sports involving death. People can enjoy hangings and drawing and quartering and lynchings. But these people are not necessarily psychopaths - they can be loving and selfless to those within their circle of loyalty, to family, faith, tribe, comrades at arms.
