Answered Prayers as Proof of God

[Lethe]

Like I said before... right now we have law that will prohibits murder as well as our religions. If one deterrent isn't strong enough for someone, the other may be. If you take out consequence of punishment by god and know when you die, its truly over, more people will kill.

S. E. Cupp?!

The reasoning isn't complicated. Some people may not care about our criminal law, but fear God will punish them if they kill. With one of the two major deterrents removed, why would there be fewer murders?

Except they don't fear punishment from a deity for murder. In fact many interpret their preferred deity to encourage murder. Religion isn't a deterrent in the least, it's merely a means of justification for one's actions. You can't reinterpret the law to mean what you want it to mean to justify any action you commit (unless your lawyer has mad skillz), but you can easily do so with religion.
