> [@Guinastasia](#): > > He also told another poster that said poster’s daughter’s disability due to a deal the daughter must have made with Satan before birth. Why would someone make a deal to be disabled? Seems like kind of a crummy bargain. Wouldn’t it make more sense that everyone who isn’t disabled made a pre-natal deal with Satan. The types of crazy beliefs that drive me nuts are the ones that don’t make sense even if you accept their terms. ---

**Lekatt** has clipped his own wings, ripped out his own eyes and locked himself in a cage of his own making. ---

He’s just a crazy person. Death is pretty damn scary when you look at it, and I can’t really blame some folks for getting completely unhinged if they’re unable to deal with it. ---

I was the poster in question and I’ve asked my daughter about it. It seems she made a deal with hockey player Miroslav Šatan in utero instead of the actual Satan. So really, it’s her own fault. ---

Does that mean your daughter could help the Pens win the Stanley Cup again? Wait…never mind, Satan no longer plays for Pittsburgh. Oh well. ---

I’m pretty sure it’s the same phenomenon that creates the idea of “alien abductions.” He also claims to talk to spirits. I remember another person here who said stuff like that, and it turned out they were schizophrenic. I wonder if lekatt may have a mental illness. ---

I’ve been saying for years that I think he does. I don’t debate him any more because firstly it’s pointless and secondly it’s making fun of a person with a disability, which is dishonourable and unkind. He should be banned for his own good. ---

I remember another person here who said stuff like that, and it turned out they were schizophrenic. I wonder if lekatt may have a mental illness. The description he gave sounds more like a so-called “out of body experience”, than a NDE anyways. ---

I’ve just realized that **lekatt** is no different at all than those crazy people who confess to horrible crimes they did not commit. He really, _really_, REALLY wants to be one of those people who’ve had a near death experience. The problem is that, like those people, he doesn’t get the details right and is shocked, angry even, that people who know the details of the event don’t believe him. In this case, he confused the details of an OBE with those of an NDE and is telling people that he had the latter.
