Because the bible tells you so?

[w00t]

There are many words of wisdom in the Bible, but there is a lot of garbage as well, unsurprising as it was written by humans!

I don't really dig the lame smear campaign you have going on. Why don't you go try to kiss a Greyhound bus on the freeway?

Is that what Jesus would do?

Christians make up approximately 75% of the U.S. population and 75% of the prison population. Atheists make up approximately 10% of the the U.S. population and .2% of the prison population. These statistics don't seem to support your assertion that religion keeps people more in check.

You're not taking into account the non-practicing or the people who converted in prison. Or just the people who aren't following their religion very good. When you actively follow your religion, you would not be in prison. Unless it's the Manson family.

Would Jesus kiss a greyhound?

I couldn't tell you...

Not sure about Jesus, but apparently Paul prefers carpooling over the bus, according to Philippians 2:2 (KJV - emphasis mine):

Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.

That's a Honda not a Greyhound.

That's a Honda not a Greyhound.

Exactly... it seems the early Christians steered clear of the buses altogether in favour of high-occupancy personal vehicles.

Huh?

You haven't actually watched The Godfather, have you?

Vocabulary lesson - godparent:

A godparent, in many denominations of Christianity, is someone who sponsors a child's baptism. Judaism has this equivalent in the circumcision ceremony. A male godparent is a godfather and a female godparent is a godmother. The child is a godchild (godson, goddaughter).
In a non-religious manner, a godparent is a person who agrees to take care of a child if something were to happen to their parents or guardians.

Now go watch The Godfather - it's a good movie. When you're ready, you can continue to The Godfather Part II. You don't need to bother with Part III.

But they did use mass transit. Isaiah tells us, in describing the Lord, that "his train filled the Temple."
