Plus, violent crime has dropped DRAMATICALLY over the last 20 years as we've gotten less religious, how do you explain that?
I beg to differ...when over a million children are murdered in this country every year...IMHO..violent crime hasn't dropped...

Right, in your opinion, despite facts to the contrary.

Very true. But facts don't matter here. We are in the Land that Facts Forgot

The national average score on the SAT has dropped by 80 points.
And last year, across America, over 25% of the graduating seniors could not even read the diplomas they received.
One of the most tragic and sinful statistics of all is that since Rowe vs. Wade in the 1970's, over 50 million unborn babies have been murdered in their mother's womb. Today over 1/3 of all pregnancies in America end in abortion. There is an abortion taking place every 20 seconds.

Secular Progressive=No God=Eventual Societal Implosion!!!
The crime rate issue has been addressed except pointing out that the murder rate is currently 4.7, in 1919 the murder rate was 7.2 and rose to a height of 9.7 in 1933. It would seem to me that there is a higher correlation between Prohibition and the War on Drugs than there is on ungodliness and liberal policies.

As for the divorce rate... thank god more women are free to leave abusive unfulfilling relationships because their only source of income was their husband.

Illegitimate births, there is no such thing. Unwed single parents yes, illegitimate not so much.

SAT scores, in 1901 there were 973 students taking the tests, today over 3 million students take the exam. Perhaps an SAT question should be, what happens when more unprepared students take a test (hint its about averages)?

As for abortion, and "illegitimate children, you can't have it both ways. By the way, back in the good ole days the estimate on illegal or self induced abortion range from 200,000 to 1.2 million.

I agree that divorce as such can be a good thing. People didn't love each other more in the past, but they had no way of getting out of their marriages, they were prisoners of marriage for the rest of their lives, especially women because they lacked the education to make it on their own. Now luckily that is no longer the case, people no longer have to waste their entire lives just because they married the wrong person. They can exit and restart

In fact I started a thread about it a few weeks ago: //www.city-data.com/forum/polit...ous-right.html
I always thought these christians considered lying as a "sin".

Guess when THEY want to lie , it's OK



If the country's woes are all caused by the lack of "god" those christians who were praying sure did a lousy job.....maybe "god" just doesn't like THEM

The term murder is clearly defined, and it does not apply to abortion...

Spin what? Or don't you count all those "murdered" fetuses back in the god fearing pre-liberal era?
