BTK has only himself to blame

Dennis Rader blamed “demons” for driving him to torture and kill 10 people in an interview with KAKE, Channel 10. And he said someone should have noticed and identified his behavioral problems. Yeah, right. If BTK was as good at compartmentalizing his life as he claims, he was perfectly capable of turning himself in to authorities before he killed again.

    I don’t care how sick Dennis Rader is, he still knew the difference between right and wrong. Being mentally ill might be the reason for his behavior, but it’s no excuse.

    If Rader hadn’t been a Christian then he would have sought medical help rather than spiritual help. Perhaps his violence would have been contained. Religion kills again.

    And you know that he sought spiritual help? If so, explain how he did.

    Religion doesn’t kill. Sadly, “In the name of, or under the guise of religion” does.

    So Dennis Rader killed in the name of religion? Is there some evidence yet to be revealed that will explain this?

    Doug,

    You assume that in the absence of spiritual help he would have sought medical help…

    You assume that he was seeking spiritual help while doing his violent acts and not after…
