Is the ill-founded morality of Christianity the reason why most American prison inmates are Christian?
November 5th, 2009 | by admin |
Filip asked:
I have the impression that children exposed to biblical indoctrination don’t learn to critically analyze their’s and others’ actions, and therefore don’t develop a healthy sense of moral values that isn’t based on the dictating of a dictator. This leaves them with no depth in their understanding of morality, since after all, their morality has no solid foundation. These religious people could ultimately become a danger to society if their worldview shatters and their understanding of consequences is shallow. I believe this is the reason why most prison inmates in America are Christian.

I don’t think very much of your reasoning. Most prisoners in Muslim countries are Muslim. Most prisoners in Hindu countries are Hindu. It means only that religion is a statistic.

I couldn’t have said it better, easily achieved blanket forgiveness leads to morality with shallow roots.

It’s true that christians arent overrepresented in American prisons, but shouldnt they be underrepresented? They do stand on soapboxes telling everyone else how to live their lives. Why are atheists underrepresented? The facts are in direct contradiction to christian claims.

The majority of Christians in prison are Christians who should read these words:
>
“And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.’
They are Christians like tomatoes are vegetables.
