Brian Kohberger: A Less Than Human Psychopath Who Feeds on Suffering
Psychopaths feel no remorse, no empathy, no guilt. Instead, mimic emotion like a parasitic actor under demonic compulsion to feed on the suffering of others. THESE KILLERS OF HUMANITY MUST BE STOPPED!
LISTEN - UNDERSTAND: The Rulers of the Darkness
In the wake of the chilling Idaho college murders, the nation has wrestled with the unthinkable: How could someone, seemingly ordinary, methodically plan and execute such cold-blooded slaughter? Brian Kohberger, now infamously associated with the brutal killing of four students in their home, has not just shattered the lives of the victims' families—he has shattered something deeper in the collective psyche: our belief in the fundamental humanity of others.
The Psychology of the Predator
Psychopathy, as defined by forensic psychology, is not merely a disorder but a void—an emotional black hole. The psychopath feels no remorse, no empathy, no guilt. Instead, he mimics emotion like a parasitic actor, performing what looks like humanity while feeding on the suffering of others. Kohberger is a case study in this parasitic pathology.
According to psychological theory, psychopathy arises from a lethal combination of biological deficits and early environmental failures. The amygdala, responsible for fear and empathy, is often underactive in psychopaths. Yet even this clinical language fails to capture the deeper horror of what we are witnessing in Kohberger: a being that is biologically human but spiritually hollow—a counterfeit soul.
The courtroom testimonies from victims’ families have peeled back the veil on what psychopathy does not just to the dead, but to the living. These families were forced into the nightmare of confronting evil in its purest form—soulless, indifferent, and observing them with vacant detachment. Their statements detailed not only grief, but a kind of spiritual homicide—an assault on the meaning and love that once animated their lives.
The Religious Dimension: The Absence of Soul
From a spiritual or theological standpoint, Kohberger’s presence invokes something ancient and terrible: the archetype of the demon in human flesh. Scripture warns that in the last days, there will be men “without natural affection,” lovers of self, and haters of what is good (2 Timothy 3:3). Psychopathy is not merely a disorder—it is disorder incarnate, a manifestation of rebellion against the image of God in man.
While theology teaches that all are made in God’s image, it also warns that there are those who choose—or perhaps are given over—to a reprobate mind (Romans 1:28). In such cases, the spirit is no longer receptive to goodness or repentance, and instead becomes a vessel for destruction. Kohberger, by all outward appearances, has crossed that threshold. He is not merely damaged—he is desecrated.
Feeding on Suffering
One of the most harrowing aspects of psychopathy is the phenomenon of “emotional vampirism.” These individuals derive psychological stimulation or gratification from watching others writhe in pain. In religious language, this is not simply deviance—it is demonic. The courtroom setting becomes, for the psychopath, not a place of shame or remorse, but a theatre where he passively consumes the emotional agony of his victims' loved ones like a predator savoring a final kill.
To listen to the victim impact statements is to hear the sound of humanity crying out for justice—and for the recognition that evil has walked among them. Their words describe not only a murder of the body, but the murder of trust, peace, and spiritual cohesion. Survivors speak not just of sorrow, but of a psychological violence that continues to ripple outward, consuming birthdays, holidays, even the meaning of tomorrow.
The Moral Dilemma: Why Are They Allowed to Live?
This leads to a deeper, darker question that psychology rarely answers and religion dares to: Should those who have spiritually and psychologically murdered others be allowed to live?
There is a growing sentiment, not born from revenge but from a deep cry for moral sanity, that certain individuals have forfeited the right to continue among the living. Like black mold that spreads in the dark, choking out life, psychopaths can never be cured—only contained. But even that feels like a moral insult to the victims.
In the biblical tradition, there is mercy—but there is also justice. And justice is not just retribution. It is the reassertion of moral order. It is the spiritual ecosystem restoring its balance. While capital punishment remains controversial, cases like Kohberger force society to face the reality that some evils do not reform—they only lie in wait.
Call to Vigilance
Brian Kohberger is more than a criminal—he is a spiritual anomaly, a mirror held up to society's unwillingness to confront evil in its purest form. He represents what happens when a culture becomes too hesitant to call something demonic, too paralyzed to believe that some souls are truly lost.
Victim impact statements have done more than express grief—they have become moral testimony. They declare to the world that evil exists, that it destroys more than flesh, and that the soul of a community cries out for something more than punishment—it cries out for cleansing.
In this light, we must rethink how we define evil, how we confront psychopathy, and how we protect the moral integrity of our culture. If we fail to do so, we are not only allowing these beings to live—we are allowing them to spread. And that is a risk no sane or spiritual society should ever be willing to take.
