To be psychotic means you have lost touch with reality and many psychotic people exhibit hallucinations, disorganized beliefs, and impaired social skills. To be psychotic is NOT to be evil.

Cal, we may have to ask the Princess for a sub-forum in the clown cafe for some of the "thoughts on life" you bring up, this is good.
People generally classify distasteful behavior that they don't agree with as evil. And in many cases this is understandable. A black and white view makes the call of good or evil a fairly straightforward event.
Psychotic on the otherhand has become a catchall phrase similar to schizophrenia was a few years ago. Whereas schizo generally was used to mean just plain crazy, psychotic is usually joined with negative social behavior. In part this is understandable because without the standard mental controls and limitations people generally have they, the psychotics, occasionally act in ways that if performed by a person in relatively healthy mental state (although if a person is mentally healthy would they perform similar actions?) would be labeled as evil.
Okay Cal. this is a start and we can go from here. Plenty of generalizations made and some gaps in the thought process, but...
