It was a humorous comment on Sunday school- to which dear Greg attaches such great importance. Greg's post was silly and high handed- and I was aiming for a silly post (although based on real statistics) in a like manner. Hence the odious smiley face- which I really don't like using, but which seem necessary on the net. Ugh. But perhaps you didn't read it that way, and I'm not really sure I care. No, I don't. I suspect people who do not have adequate internal controls gravitate to the external control of religion (among other things)- which would mean you would get more people attracted to religion who were, on average, less able to control their negative impulses. But that is just my thought. Therefore religion is not "causing" anything, it is merely an attractor. Now I suspect you will read that wrong also- that is not to say that ALL people attracted to religion are attracted for those reasons, only that some people, who need external controls are. So if you come back and tell me I just said bad people are attracted to religion I will laugh at you.
