| Topic | How religion helps our community - Churchgoers are less likely to commit crime. |

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. --- glitteringfairy: Just build the damn wall ThyCorndog: and how exactly will that stop the mexican space program from orbital dropping illegal immigrants? ...
