it was all due to race!!! of course RACISM IS THE ROOT OF EVIL LIKE MONEY

[matureamericanable]

@TheDagulaw Your Caps Lock key is still stuck.I love Ethiopia although the Bible has nothing to do with it. I'm particularly interested in the reign on Menelek II, which would have been in the late 19th century. As for the rest, of that crazy-ass, fucked-up shit - are you on drugs. Or are you supposed to be but you're not taking them?

@heidiv19891 Isn't feminism the root of all evil now?

Yeah well it's also true that the USA has over 42 million inhabitants who are other than white, whereas Sweden has less than 70,000 inhabitants who are other than white. The US prison population is predominantly black males followed by Hispanic/Latin males. Black & Latin males commit most crimes & seeing as Sweden has far less other than White Males, I'd contend that fact is a greater contributor to Sweden's low crime rate than the lack of religious faith. You spin it as you wish but it's true.

@70scarrestoguy well its not whether or not you "think" im wrong. bottom line is, crime rates have been shown to decrease in nonreligious states. for instance, in the USA 85% of people are christian and 10% are agnostic (5%=other). .25% of our prison population is atheist. that is disproportionally smaller. also sweden is 85% atheist. it is ranked the 7th most peaceful country in the world. not trying to bash on you, but these are true facts.

@70scarrestoguy me wrong, I'm not religious & I used to equate religion to the oldest con-game known to mankind.I used to really be into Astronomy, Astrophotography & Astrophysics.I've taken several images similar to that of your( B-33) homepage image.I've read much about Theoretical Physics & Cosmology.I think maybe you need to be less of a naive sponge & look at what's really going on.The Davis controversy is political, media supported bullshit to threaten revival of the death penalty debate.

@sorry8140 Kid; You're probably a budding science buff whose absorbed a few opinions about how "God" can't be scientifically proven.The concept of "God" was never meant to be proven & militant anti religious scientists are exhibiting a knee jerk reaction to Creationism/Creation Science.As for lower crime rates without religion, I think your wrong.Religion is all about moral & spiritual guidance.Illegitimize that moral guidance & some may begin to act without consequence of conscience.Don't get-

[sorry8140]

@70scarrestoguy then again 85% of america is reigious. this number, with the birth of secular reason in society, is decreasing. in sweden 85% of people are nonreligious and britain is at 44%. this would have been ridiculous a century ago, but now we realize that there isn't much evidence for god and people are rising against faith with no reason. i think that a similarthing will happen with the death penalty as people realize that it can do so much damage. and lower religion=lower crime rates.

@70scarrestoguy individuals swallowed their bait.As for religious leaders; If the Church wishes to interfere with business of State, then maybe the "Church" should first give up their US tax exemption status.Then I'll gladly listen to the "Church's" opinion regarding capital punishment.Until that day arrives, I'd appreciate it if the Pope & other religious leaders keep their opinions to themselves.The USA was founded on freedom of religion & a gov of the people.Not of a repressive religious gov.
