Correction....American INNER CITIES are the most violent places on earth, outside of war torn nations.
You were much more likely to be murdered in 1959, when religion was present in public schools and when, or so I'm told, we were a much more moral people, than in 2010. That fact is indisputable.
22 “‘Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable.
23 “‘Do not have sexual relations with an animal and defile yourself with it. A woman must not present herself to an animal to have sexual relations with it; that is a perversion.
Romans 1:24-27
New International Version (NIV)
24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
1 Corinthians 6:9-10
New International Version (NIV)
9 Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men[a] 10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
1 Timothy 1:10
New International Version (NIV)
10 for the sexually immoral, for those practicing homosexuality, for slave traders and liars and perjurers—and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine
Stop trolling. This isn't about the bible. If you can't make an intelligent argument in comparing two countries, get off this thread and take it to the religion forum already.
I don't, in fact I preach it. However the U.S. is not now, nor ever has been a theocracy. Until that happens, God, the Bible & religious viewpoints have NO right to be involved in the establishment of laws.
There is something known as the separation of church and state.

That shouldn't be an issue or problem here in America.
Why just stop by any public school and pick up a condom from the Nurse's office if you can't bring yourself to buy them in the supermarket.
Sorry, pardner, it's indisputable fact. But don't just take my word for it, the raw data is available for free at the FBI's website. Take a journey, perhaps you'll learn something.
