It doesn't seem to have anything to do with a god anyway, and obviously many people who "accept christianity" still blissfully murder others.  A disproportionately large number of murderers just so happen to be christians, lol.

I suspect the number of convicted murderers who are xtian probably approaches 100% if/when they come up for parole.
