Quote:One specific example I can think of is disenfranchised criminals who "find Jesus," start to adopt new attitudes and behaviors, and join a community of overall pretty decent human beings who can help support them in getting work, avoiding bad social influences, etc.
So you are suggesting that no one ever, across the length and breath of history, ever got his ass thrown in jail, didn't like it, and adopted a lifestyle more consistent with the society he lived in so he wouldn't go back without fucking "jesus?" Really? That is the kind of bullshit I'd expect to hear from the fucking pope.
Jesus freaks claim credit for the sun rising or, as Robert Green Ingersoll put it...
Quote:"It may be that ministers really think that their prayers do good and it may be that frogs imagine that their croaking brings spring."
