Another way to say this is the God advantage is real and can be measured by scientists. They've proven that God does exist for those that believe he does and even for those that don't. But not all religions are equal. Some have proven far superior to others.

Now that’s being replaced with an all knowing, punitive federal government. Well, punitive to the little people not in the ruling class.

What I find amusing is that the use of God in relevant political discourse and for the purposes of control has been done for millenia, even as far as back the Egyptians, yet the Democrats are doing everything in their power to destroy God and replace the controlling mechanism with “the State.”

Belief in all-knowing, punitive gods aided the growth of human societies, study says

Another Trump article...

[Robert A Cook PE]

There is something to be said for the fact that EVERY society on earth since ‘society” was invented with agriculture has created, formed, or used “gods” and religious belief as a foundation.

Up until Marxist thought, and then today’s socialist-Marxist hatred of Christianity and Western civilization, that is. Now, it is the socialist governments who killed their 164 million in the 20th century that the socialists worship as “gods” ..

Deuteronomy 4:19 & Malachi 1:11.

Barring immorality and crime, all stand to be saved.

Its like governments being forced to adhere to a gold standard.

Knowing there is a higher power who will hold you responsible makes you a lot more cautious.

G.K. Chesterton’s, “Everlasting Man,” remains well worth reading. Could have saved these folks performing the study a lot of work.

[IronJack]

If that’s true, then what happens when the opposite happens? What happens to a society when its members STOP believing in an all-knowing, punitive god and start believing that they themselves are the alpha and the omega?

[ifinnegan]

These social scientists are geniuses. Wow.

(Nature is going down hill).

[Defiant]

Sounds like they are saying that if God didn’t exist, it was good he was invented.

[spintreebob]

They needed a study to learn this?

Heh.

[chesley]

It all depends on which diety you worship. There’s really only two, and one of them is not Eternal, hence, not God.
