Catholics and Protestants make up a whopping 75% of all prisoners.
What the chart clearly shows overall is that religion is not a cure for what ails ppl.Good parenting is a much better route than making sure the church is involved in the rearing of a child.

and they make up 78% of the US population

so how does this show that christianity is evil? if 20% of the population is left handed (just a wild guess),I would assume 20% of the prison population would be lefthanded.
now the fact that muslims make up .6% of the US population but 7% of the prison population may mean something but to claim the disparity is because the Koran is evil is ignorant.
isn't that what you are doing?

...The passive belief that those 99% of believers (not only Christians) have is equally as dangerous as the 1% that murder ....Christianity, like all organized religion is dangerous.

You're sick if you think any of that is justified, and even sicker if you worship the bastard you think is responsible. Fuck the bible.

Absolutely! The role of the church on the human psyche cannot be underestimated. I could write tomes on this subject.

Define "soul". Exactly when does it become a "child" to you? I'm curious.

mrmadcow said:
& you know a fetus doesn't have a soul? (-no offense PB) when does a child develop a soul? since no one knows,shouldn't we error on the side of caution & assume it begins at conseption?...

First of all, why would you ASSUME there's a correlation between population and criminals.... you think it's all spread even? Untrue.

But let's just go with ur assumption. Surely atheists make up more then 0.2% of the population. So by ur own convoluted assumptions, ur wrong.

What it shows is that again, even by ur own reasoning, being a christian doesn't give you an edge in being a good citizen.

so if that is the case,then why would you assume that x number of christians in prison PROVES christianity is evil?

to judge a group by the actions of 1 is dumb,can't you agree w/ that?
especially when the group condemns the action

grab a copy of the Guinness book of world records, last time I checked, the top 3 mass murders of the 20th century were all athiest. w/ a combined kill total that was larger than all wars in the same time period.

I pointed out that overall, most murderers in this country consider themselves to be Christians....

You responded with this....

Then I pointed out that my position was entirely correct and had the data to SUPPORT my position.

==========================================================

You said: so if that is the case,then why would you assume that x number of christians in prison PROVES christianity is evil?

I didn't say it was evil. Evil is a made up concept by the church.

I said it doesn't HELP, and the prison data SUPPORTS my position, not urs.

Deflect all you want to ... I expect it. Most theists have to fall back on that tactic.

Ur position is one big assumption ... just like ur faith.

so which is it? your stats show that the same percentage of criminals are christians as the general population so Christians are no better?
or there is no correlation between population and criminals so your stats are useless.
does my stat that more people have been murdered by athiest make all athiest bad?(am i defending athiest now?)
stereotyping is ignorant!!

Ur a moron. I can't explain it any simpler. You fail to grasp it, but when one meets stupidity, there's nothing that can be done about it.

Ur at an impasse. Good luck...
