GOD IS EVIL OR Not allpowerful

[harris7]

Harris7, have you ever considered that maybe the reason society is continually getting more and more dangerous, crime-ridden and just generally fucked up is because our laws are no longer strict, so people really don't care if they get caught?

That my friend is a very the very same argument I've heard so many right wing polititions make. And guess what it's based on nothing. Longer and more sever sentences have been found not to reduce crime. And that is why manditory minimum sentencing is stupid.

by your logic a society which used capital punishment for every crime would be the safest... I once saw a star trek about this :thumbsup:

The amount of crime back in those days would have been absolutely insignificant compared to what we see now.
.

This is an assumption. Was there less crime back then. Well there was a hell of a lot of rape and murder. just no one talked about it.

And I guess things like wife beatings werenâ??t crime because it was ok back thenâ?¦

you are assuming that the world is worse today that it was. And since religion was stronger then. you are assuming that this correlation is causal. I doubt the correlation and I doubt it causal.

as well. Today the majority of crimes. Not pick pocketing. but shit real bad shit. is caused by a few. for example the American government has probably caused more "crime" throughout the world in the last 4 years than all the crime in Canada.

how many civilians have they killed. How many of there own civilians have they let die.

If your talking about average crime in the world being greater now. And if this is true. it is because the average is artificially inflated by a very very few who do very bad things.

as well you seem to think the people killing in jesusâ??s name were all silly humans tricked by the church. Remember that the Christians killed more â??witchesâ?� than the Naziâ??s killed jews!!!

What makes you so sure you are not just tricked my another institution?
