Trump is ignored when he says things liberals might praise him for saying. Trump's words are twisted and misinterpreted intentionally by the left. Our liberal media doesn't spend much time, or any time at all, on things that make Trump look good. They exaggerate every mistake Trump makes. They are out to destroy him and his Presidency. They have never actually tried to support their President.

The liberal media is the biggest problem in America right now. They have poisoned the minds of many people, and that is evident in the TC's video, and it is made evident through the responses in this thread.

Does this have anything to do with an increase in church activity keeping people more preoccupied so they have less opportunity to commit crimes in the first place? Isn't this the same thing that was found with an increase of more outreach and after school programs as well?


I'm sure that's part of the equation.

Here's how I look at it:
When you're actively part of a religious community that encourages peace and love, it is likely that you will make friends within your religious community. You are surrounded by people who are like-minded. Your friends encourage you to be a good person. Every human being desires to be accepted by his or her peers. You don't want to disappoint your church friends. And they continually encourage you to be a good person.

Almost all religions teach about peace, harmony, and love for people around you. When you get this idea drilled into your head every week, I think it makes sense that it's more likely for you to put these virtues into practice in your own life.

The only dense person in this thread is you.


"Churchgoers are less likely to commit crime" is a true statement because of the fact that there is a correlation between regularly attending church and committing less crime. You do a study that shows a correlation between lower crime rates and people regularly attending church. This establishes the fact that, statistically, churchgoers are less likely to commit a crime.

How are you not getting this?

That is off-topic.


How is that off topic? It is 100% relevant. The article does not suggest that we need more religion so that crime is reduced. The article is simply making an observation. You're making it a way bigger deal than it needs to be.

Hexagon posted...
There is no such thing as a "statistical fact" so you're in no position to tell me what I don't know. From both studies we know that as religious participation goes up, crimes go down. That is a correlation. Stating churchgoers are less likely to commit a crime is an assignment of the cause of the crime to religious participation. When it could have been, for example, "people that participate in routine social events are less likely to commit crimes". You assigned the cause. It wasn't the only possible one.


Since when is there no so such thing as statistical fact? What I mean by "statistical fact" is that there was something that was studied and proven to have a correlation to something else. People gather data and come up with conclusions and correlations. They collect information and come up with statistics. There are in fact statistical facts. For example: You roll a dice. What are the chances you roll a 1? 1 in 6. That is, as I'm using the term, a statistical fact. That doesn't mean it's actually a 1 in 6 chance; because it either rolls a 1 every 6th roll (on average), or it doesn't. Established chances of one thing possessing a particular property... that is a statistical fact, as I'm using the term. Did I define that well enough for you? I don't want to play this semantics game.

Stating "churchgoers are less likely to commit crime" is only saying exactly what the article is saying. Which is that people who regularly attend religious gatherings or ceremonies are less likely to be involved in crimes. At no point did I claim "going to church will, in fact, reduce the amount of crime you commit". There is a correlation between regularly attending church, and less crime. That's it. You can believe what you want about that.

You're reaching at this point in our debate.

A lots of crimes that religious people commit go unreported. Instead of reporting them, religious people have the criminal speak to other church people and solve the issues so that they get better... like that guy on tv that molested his sisters.


A lot of crimes go unreported, period. Either you get caught, or you don't. Police aren't going to be reviewing a tape of some guy shoplifting and say, "Oh but I can tell he's a Christian so just let it slide."

That person who committed a crime and admitted it to their pastor or priest would have likely never even told anyone had they not been religious. Your point doesn't have any weight to it at all.

Yes, it is good to abstain from sexual relations. But because there is so much sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman should have her own husband.

The husband should fulfill his wife’s sexual needs, and the wife should fulfill her husband’s needs. The wife gives authority over her body to her husband, and the husband gives authority over his body to his wife.

Do not deprive each other of sexual relations, unless you both agree to refrain from sexual intimacy for a limited time so you can give yourselves more completely to prayer. Afterward, you should come together again so that Satan won’t be able to tempt you because of your lack of self-control. I say this as a concession, not as a command. But I wish everyone were single, just as I am. Yet each person has a special gift from God, of one kind or another.

So I say to those who aren’t married and to widows -- it’s better to stay unmarried, just as I am. But if they can’t control themselves, they should go ahead and marry. It’s better to marry than to burn with lust.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2539100/How-religion-cuts-crime-Attending-church-makes-likely-shoplift-drugs-download-music-illegally.html

Violent crime decreased as greater numbers of people were religiously active in a community, according to a study analyzing crime and religion data from 182 counties in three states.

The effect was particularly pronounced in black violence in disadvantaged communities that are most likely to have the highest number of victims.

“In the big picture, religious presence seems to matter to the amount of violence and crime in a community,” says Jeffery Ulmer, a professor of sociology and crime, law and justice at Pennsylvania State University who led the county-level study. “It matters to blacks, whites and Latinos.”

Just don’t expect young men and women who are among the growing numbers of people who consider themselves “spiritual but not religious” to have the same moral inhibitions.

A separate Baylor University study of more than 15,000 people ages 18 to 28 found that while young adults who considered themselves religious were less likely than others to commit violent or property crimes, those who claimed to be spiritual but set apart from organized religion were more likely to engage in both types of criminal activity.


People who regularly visit a place of worship are less likely to get involved in low level crime and delinquency, according to new research.

A survey from Manchester University found a direct correlation between higher visits to religious places and lower crime figures, especially in relation to shoplifting, drug use and music piracy.

Researchers believe this is because religion not only teaches people about 'moral and behavioural norms', but also spending time with like-minded people makes it less likely they'll get mixed up with the 'wrong crowd'.

Mrs. Doubtfire was a fantastic movie. Classic. Love it. But if something like that happened in real life, no one would have any sympathy for that guy when he went to jail.
