I guess it would depend to some degree on your school of thought on the subject. I imagine many people would consider sociopathy to be a mental illness. From everything i have read ( and much of my fiance's research), most serial killers are sociopaths, and are unable to empathize, and have no conscience, but would not consider that a disorder. It is a state of mind. It isnt any more insane than believing that an all-powerful force created everything, knows everything, and will send oyu to hell if you masturbate or eat meat on friday, yet Catholacism is one of the world's largest religions.
