Atheists want permission from something to know it is alright to believe in GOD! The Lord told me to add this (by communion no voices) : Atheists want permission from something to know it is alright to believe in GOD without being embarrassed, by people thinking they are unintelligent! |

Does this mean then Christians can stop with the martyr complex since 78.4% of the population claims Christianity? I highly doubt that will happen. Define "Martyr Complex" for us, the world is reading. Let us all be on the same page. The martyr is one who employs self-sacrifice and victimization as a way of avoiding to take responsibility for their life. They are prepared, however, to take responsibility for everyone else's life. They consider themselves a light to the world, a shining example of how a good and selfless person should behave. They honestly believe they are a model of virtue. They also believe that their goodness will eventually "rub off" on others. From [link to www.yourlifecheckup.com] "A Christian martyr is one who is killed for following Christianity, through stoning, crucifixion, burning at the stake or other forms of torture and capital punishment. The word "martyr" comes from the Greek word mártys, which means "witness." [link to en.wikipedia.org] So we prove why GLP works and mankind does not! |

Quoting: Mister Obvious You idiots know about how they try to 'convert' all the prisoners right? Claiming religion gets them out of their cells more often, this is why there are so many christians and Muslims in prison. I know 2 atheists personally who claim to be christians the minute they go back to prison. Simple facts. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1134307 Sweden 08/25/2011 12:04 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This old idiocy. 1) many, many of those christians are just nominally christians who have checked a box because they grew up in nominally christian homes. This does not mean they believe in God or give a shit about the bible or church. They are not basing these statistics on belief in God or church or scriptural rules. 2) if you are religious, you stand a better chance of getting parole, period. It's foolish from a practical standpoint to say you are an atheist. 3) There aren't that many atheists. So the use of this statistic shows shallow and not very rational thinking. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1520113 Sweden 08/25/2011 12:26 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Well most prisoners are liars... Besides all the atheists I know are criminals, they just didn't get caught. Besides the 1% i doubt that one, over here like 25% are atheist and 70% are muslims in prison, other groups make up the 5%. Besides atheists are the worst massmurderers in history, 259+ million murdered in a little over a century. That's some effectivity, the religions don't even come close, though catholicism (paganism) is trailing with around 50-60 million but that is over at least 1200 years, and muslims rake in something like that too and that over 1400 years. Bascially atheists, catholics and muslims are the worst scum of the earth, then comes the hindus and buddhists (big murder counts by those groups too, but unlike the top 3, they don't really brag about their slaughters). So OP shouldn't be smug because he belongs to the worst group ever. How's that village atheist? Also these supposed Christians are told not to do crime, they did it anyway so they are in conflict with their own beliefs, no such thing among atheists, hence all the massmurders. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 967845 Germany 08/25/2011 12:52 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | When you look at the demographics in prison it can be tricky. How many are black? How many are white? That's not too difficult. How many are gay? How many are gay because they want protection? How many are Christian? How many became christian in prison? How many claim to be Christian because religious books are the only literature they are allowed? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1513280 Also how many people in the general population, before prison, are atheists? Maybe 5%-10%. No wonder only 1% are atheists in prisons. Derp duh doo doy! |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 1297165 United States 08/25/2011 01:33 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I love when atheists try to pass off crap like this to make themselves feel better. Your source doesn't really do much to add credit to your argument. Second, event if this is true which i doubt it is, Only 2.3% of the world's population are atheists so your point again does nothing but show your bias towards Christians (Source: [link to en.wikipedia.org] ) Third your 75% figure is complete crap. First there really is no way of knowing that since the prison population is not polled on their religion. The one study that was conducted by an Research Analyst for the Federal Bureau of Prison back in the 90's looked at 93k of an estimated 2 million prisoners and found... Catholic 29,267 31.432% Protestant 26,162 28.097% None/Atheist/Unknown 18,537 19.908% Muslim 5,435 5.837% American Indian 2,408 2.586% Nation of Islam 1,734 1.862% Rastafarian 1,485 1.595% Jewish 1,325 1.423% Church of Christ 1,303 1.399% Pentecostal 1,093 1.174% Moorish 1,066 1.145% Buddhist 882 0.947% Jehovah's Witnesses 665 0.714% Adventist 621 0.667% Eastern Orthodox 375 0.403% Latter-day Saints 298 0.320% Scientology 190 0.204% Hindu 119 0.128% Santeria 117 0.126% Sikh 14 0.015% Baha'i 9 0.010% ISKCON 7 0.008% -------------------- ------ -------- Total 93,112 100.000% Before you start trying to push your idiotic hatred maybe you should be able to back it up with facts first. From the looks of the study above your atheists actually fell into the 19% category. And the study also found that most of the people in prison are recruited or convert to a religion while in jail so again your numbers still mean nothing about the criminals state of mind when they committed the crime. Jails are filled with non believers who "convert" so that they can look like they have repented to the parole boards. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1313350 I think its stupid to not believe in God though. Actually normally atheists are rednecks and very unintelligent people. The only smart atheists, like Stephen Hawking, say there is no life after death even though their own science confirms that energy can not be destroyed. It just changes forms. |
