Reason for converting Good Christians
#77
RE: Reason for converting Good Christians
Darwinian,

The problem with that is the evidence Prof Stenger provides for this is:
Quote:According to a March 5, 1997, letter to Rod Swift from Denise Golumbaski, research analyst, Fedral Buereau of Prisons, online at http://www.holysmoke.org/icr-pri.htm (accessed February 5, 2006).
- God: The Failed Hypothesis, page 210, Note #2
The data given at the site is from a letter, not an official investigation. It can hardly be held as evidence for anything. A better website would be:

http://www.adherents.com/misc/adh_prison.html

It's religious in nature but has more up to date data (with sources).
