Puttin' my 2 cents worth in.

I guess we are all off the hook then. :wink:
LTX, i wouldn't count on that until you see chapter & verse that says so.
I suppose I should elaborate on my above statement.
I don't think God condems EVERYone who aren't in their right mind.
It depends on what the situation is. There's a difference on whether that person is insane by choice, which would make them not fully insane I guess...or the person who is deeply troubled per say, by demons and loses it.

No one is insane by choice.

Don't forget to check the fine print.
The most pardonable of so-called sins is Original Sin...mainly because of its non-existence and partly because it was performed by babies.
Intrepid suggests that noone is insane by choice. There may be reason to believe that Nietzsche's "insanity" was chosen. Also the psychiatrist, R.D. Laing, suggested that the insane are not always lost; sometimes they are hiding.
Babies? Adam and Eve were babies? Hmmmm.

??? A person is either insane or they are not. If they are actually insane, it could not be by their choosing. If they did choose it, they are not insane. Simple, huh.

Could you explain this a little further, please?
I'm not at all qualified to defend the position.I only with to raise it. It may be that insanity is as simple as you suggest. Maybe not.
I will suggest that Peter Gast, Nietzsche's close friend comment that during the ten years of Nietzsche's insanity it seemed that he was still himself, but a bit more so. And during Nietzsche's "sane" years he sometimes spoke highly of the positive possibilities of insanity. Maybe he just "tuned out."
