How to prevent murders and lower crime rate.
September 21, 2016 at 6:08 am
There should be buses running with Psalm 34:6 on their sides.

This poor man called, and the Lord heard him;

    he saved him out of all his troubles.

David Berkowitz says that he converted after reading this psalm in prison and apparently he is now a meek, good Christian.

If only there were a way to prove that anyone who read that verse would never murder anyone...

Has a priest ever murdered anyone? Hrmm... Too busy with all the child rape, probably.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Was Cain an atheist?

Was Cain an atheist? What good did his faith do him? Why are Christians overrepresented in American prisons?

You want to lower crime? Invest more in education. Relax drug laws, and stop incarcerating drug convicts alongside violent convicts. Permit licensed concealed-carry. Putting Bible verses on the side of a bus is probably about as useful as a pinholed condom.

There should be buses running with PROHIBIT GUNS written on their sides.  That would do more good that the stupid fucking bible.

Nah. I think buses should run with Psalm 137:9 instead...

"Happy is the one who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks."

Then people can read some of the things the Bible really said but everyone today ignores. Smile

Will we ever seen a time when the bible is only a book not to be taken literately?

Let's see...

Notorious serial killer claims rehabilitaion through religious redemption - and you don't think to question his motives? What kind of writer are you, that puts zero effort into research?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
