[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 741907, member: 16024"] I knew someone a long time ago who believed in a flat earth. She believed in the ‘canopy theory’, but I think hers was more religiously based, not mental illness. The difference, I think, is the overwhelming obsession. She never mentioned the beliefs to me, and I only know because her daughter talked about it with my daughter. It was a belief but it didn’t dominate her life on a daily basis. So, yeah, I think people can have crazy beliefs and not have a mental illness. But, I think a person that escalates into criminal activity based on those beliefs very likely has a mental illness. Look up the Florida State University library shooting from 2014. The shooter has a bunch of videos on YouTube that are still up (I don’t want to publicly divulge his name on this forum) and the things he says are very troubling. [/QUOTE]
