It has been well documented that a sociopath can not function under normal emotional conditions, therefore they feel nothing for their victim's. But all their emotions are still intact (Such as empathy) (Remorse) Look at that person's beliefs, and you will find it's the beliefs themselves that have disabled their ability to feel. Notice this also works the opposite way around, where a belief can intensify an emotion (Like guilt or fear)
Hello, I.O.U,
Do you ever watch anything youtube channels about true crimes? Have watched many of them they are all interesting to listen to, some messed up things people do too. All depends on the circumstances, emotions, feelings, surroundings, whatever is going on in the mind of the person, how long have the thoughts been around, what were the parents like.
All I know in just something extra to add because your profile says Atheist, even though you are Atheist that does not bother me. The only extra thing would like to add is that when never knowing God or who Christ Jesus was, in my own life. Darkness was always around, and heavy weight was always on my shoulders, along with hate in my heart. (Just desired to share).
Thank you for your time,
With love in Christ,
Matthew G.
