RE: preaching to the unconverted.....

[Guest guest]

A person who doesn' believe that there's sin of any

kind would surely think that any particular action is

not a sin.

 

But does that kind of " moral libertinism " make the

world a better place?

 

As a person at work suggested in another context,

" Thinking and promoting those thoughts may actually

harm rather than help. "

 

I'm reminded what that UK noteworthy, founder of the

Vegan-L list, Michael Traub, uses as his

signature block:

 

" If we believe absurdities, we'll commit atrocities. "

 

However, we OUGHT to be able to research this

quantitatively, with the following research question:

Do persons with humanitarian religious training commit

MORE violent crimes (including crimes against

nonhumans) than are committed by presons with NO

humanitarian religious training?Z
