Hi Charley,

The following was in today's Chicago Tribune:

"A University of Michigan study released in December 1997 found that 44 percent of Americans go to church once a week, compared with 27 percent of the British, 21 percent of the French and 4 percent of Swedes. Yet we are 10 times as murderous as all those unchurched folks."

So going to church does does not seem to make us virtuous.

The article also state that "The bible belt has more than its share of praying and killing. Lousiana has the highest churchgoing rate in the country, but the murder rate is more than twice the national average."

Interesting reading I thought.

Erase Hate,
Dennis
