Their (blacks) success is whoever they see fit to who they would be more comfortable with, it's not upto anyone else to determine. They are free to make a success or failure on their beliefs.
But that's the problem, ever since Blacks started voting overwhelming Democrat,(1960) the state of the black community has gotten progressively worse. Nobody can deny that.

Who defended the perps? Can you please point out the posts? I haven't seen any.

And for you second comment, nobody is trying to start a race war from the Underprivileged African Amerinca side. You they can count.

Think about it like this. If you don't have anything to look foward to after death, then what do you have to look foward to?

Only worldy things. And the things that make the world go around are money and power.

So, if there is no God, why should people care about anything aside from money and power? What will drive them?

Nothing.

Not even religion.

Because some people just go bad. It's how humanity works.

FOrcing religion on society will not make that society better. Religion does not trump human nature.

You're right that parents need to be held accountable, but that is not enough of a deterant.
There is no deterrant strong enough to completely wipe out crime.

Well, they're right, in the sense that it gave people something to hope for and something to fear.
ANd as a religious person, I can firmly say that religion has no true aspect on how I act as a person.

I just don't see how a society where every member follows the words of Christ can fail as a people.
Because of human nature.

If I recall correctly they got out of the car, they were not pulled out. So how smart is that, do you beleive that was a wise move?

Sounds like the same fruit I pick up weekly on my property after my dogs leave it for me to harvest.

So people no longer have a right to get out of their cars?

"Sitting in church on Sunday" is NOT enough...many famous and 'highly educated' people have done this for years without hearing the message.

In fact, sometimes the message may be responsible for fomenting problems. It depends on the church, the pastor, the listener, and the message.
