I read this through a link on NRO - I would like to see how credible the religion correspondent is for the London Times publishing this without any sort of comment.
It's even more obvious the author is an idiot. What a pantload.
Not believing in God causes citizens to vote for democrats.
She's obviously pissed that God didn't make her brilliant and beautiful.
Well, look at the Jews. They're God's chosen people and you can't tell me they haven't gotten a raw deal over the centuries.
Without the belief in a god or adherence to a religion, most of those things are not considered bad or punishable. So it's a moot point.
I'll forgive the poster, since this version isn't excerpted.
yeaaaagh! Let's go back to canibalism!

I see all the duplicate posts posts by the new members and I start to wonder if they know about our search feature.
The whole study embodies the logical fallacy (I forget the Latin expression) whereby the simultaneous occurrence of two events is falsely assumed to result from a causal relationship between the two events. To support its claims, the study would have to show that religious belief CAUSES the specified social problems.
Interesting. Maybe a vested interesting.
I can only imagine how thick the sheaf of left-wing associations this "researcher" has.
"The whole study embodies the logical fallacy (I forget the Latin expression) whereby the simultaneous occurrence of two events is falsely assumed to result from a causal relationship between the two events."
Post Hoc Ergo Procter Hoc -- "After this, therefore, because of this" -- Confuses cause and effect. A present observable effect is blamed on something that happened in the past with no other evidence than that one thing happened first.
Athiests are not logical, never have been, never will be.
Mmmmmm...lets see....societies that deny God....
Soviets, China, Cuba, North Korea etc...honey get the passports. We're going to Nirvana lands.
No thanks..."righteousness exalts a nation but sin is a reproach to any people" Prov 14:34 I will take a 'One Nation Under God' always. USA was founded on Godly principles and we like it the George Washington way.
compared to . . . the Hittites? Ammonites? Canaanites?
"“In general, higher rates of belief in and worship of a creator correlate with higher rates of homicide, juvenile and early adult mortality, STD infection rates, teen pregnancy and abortion in the prosperous democracies."
Oh no... you don't go there unchallenged. The above horrors occur because a society turns a deaf ear to the Creators principles. These are the fruits of a leftist, godless, secular humanist value system foisted upon us by militant liberals anything goes philosophy of destruction.
