Once I met a professor who believed serial killers
were the result of bad parenting and dysfunctional families
that these monsters were born more of nurture than nature
I couldn’t agree with that
many people come out of extremely negative family upbrings,
but they don’t take pleasure in torturing and killing people
they don’t take delight in torturing and killing animals in their childhoods
I believe serial killers are more nature then nurture, born that way,
like evil seeds
what I don’t know is how a loving God fits into this, and why,
if real and loving, that God allows so many young women to be tortured and killed by serial killers
if you’re an atheist, the answer is easy, no loving God, everything just random
the deaths of those young women, just wrong places at wrong times, nothing more.
