They were a lively bunch that's for sure. I think the Jews must have missed a few. The Amalekite descendants are running amok in modern times.
Ah, okay now I get it :)
And these good people are walking targets for those who are not so good. God gives us free will to choose what we do. That's what makes us different from animals. People might get away with horrible deeds in this life, but everyone has to answer for their actions when they die. Socio/psychpaths have no conscience. They act on their thoughts, and to hell with everyone else. Maybe they don't have a soul?
They have souls, but are so covered with envy, lust, greed and anger that they are truly "mad" - they are unable to have any true understanding or appreciation of themselves as souls, or of God's real existence. Even if such people are supposedly believers in "God", it isn't God who they believe in, but a creation of their own vain imagination.
This brings up why doctor assisted suicide (or any kind of suicide) is so bad and wrong. Even a very bad person has the chance of redemption as long as they draw breath. That chance shouldn't be taken away. In fact, when people get very close to death, the more chance that they may indeed repent and beg God's forgiveness.
And the more the common culture rejects the truth of God's existence and the truth of universal justice, the more people have no restraints to indulge their basest passions. It's a downward spiral. Very, very sad.
