If Religion is the reason why it's believers refraim from commiting evil then I FEAR what would happen when their religious beleifs are proven to be false!
So do I. Why do you think you there is so much resistance to the advance of science by the religious right?
Your claims are completly absurd. Belief in God doesn't make people Moral. I am an atheist and i'm probaly more moral than most religious people in the world! I'd never kill my family because some "God" tells me to
Again, you got it mixed up like freakgeek. I'm talking about people in general, not people individually. You're are mixing up the behavior of groups of people withy your behavior which isn't suprising coming from a nazi-bot.
And you calling yourself moral is a fuckning joke, Mr. Final Solution. Why don't you save that BS for your skin head mutants.
In reality I spend alot of time helping charities and doing construction work for the homeless.
Really? for Black, Latinos, and JEWS also?
Johnny what you are speaks so loudly i can't hear what you are saying.
With your logic..Me..Being an Atheist who doesn't believe in any Gods should be going out on killing sprees!
Supports the above mentioned point about people compared to the individual.
What keeps the average sane person from killing ANYONE is the fact they have empathy for human life and would not be able to kill someone else unless they absolutely had no other choice. This has nothing to do with belief in a "God"
A percantage of average people based on the proffessed racist activities of others would have no problem ridding the world of that kind of scum if they thought they got a "get out of hell free card." Beleive it. This society, especially in America is spun so tight they are ready to break at any moment.
If your reasoning is correct then religious people should have a lower crime rate than non-religious people---This isn't the case!
If your reasoning is correct then countries which are mostly non-religious should have much higher crime rates----This isn't the case!
I'm not talking about now compared to zero crime rates. I'm talking about now compared to 2000 years ago.
So we're you:
People have been having a "relationship with chirst" for 2,000 years and it hasn't made the world a better place. HUMANS and their discoveries and science has made the world a better place.
Me original assertion was:
Whether GOD or Christ is "Valid" or "Invalid", their (or his and other religion's) influence has greatly affected our world for the better.
You are not at all impressive intellectually.
Johnny are you really smart? Or are you just good at spitting out numbers and facts and using them as a foundation for your arrogance?
