didn't awnser anything. I've heard hundreds of news stories from cnn foxnews NPR radio about people killing and raping people and being sent to prison or let off on some technicality. I've heard pleanty of testimonials on the local christian station of people finding god and bettering thier lives.
I personally believe its hope they've found. not god. but when people are desparate for something more religion has always been there.
I have a fealing we're about to get off subject.

I remember reading an article on how the news should be watched. For example, they showed a man bleeding, while a soldier stands behind him shouting to an off-camera source, and the story goes on to say that the soldier beat the man. But, then the father of the man argued that that wasn't what really happened. The son was actually saved by that soldier, because the son got mugged and beaten. So, don't trust everything you hear or read in the news.

The news can be more violent than anyting that you can watch on a fictional show. That really just doesn't sit too well with me.

still no awnsers

Well, lets answer them:

[1]I can't give you the number for each and every single one, but you should really read the stories, and count them yourself.
[2]No. They tell them themselves.
[3]Society? But, it's not just rapists or killers, but prostitutes and more that have converted their ways. Again, you should really read up on the proper stories.

Now, i ask, do you accept these as answers?

That is a great idea, however, it is never going to happen within our lifetimes. On the other hand, though, many great things have through in the form of religion (i.e. Leonardo DaVinci). I myself, am not religious, because my parents are both different religions, and it was awkward for me to "choose" my religion.

But, yeah. THat would be great for getting rid of descrimination and many other things associated with religion, but some things associated with religions are good. Maybe some modifications just need to be made to allow science and religion to work together.

Final Note:
It bothers me how laws are based around religion, too. I believe that if one religion believes something should or shuldn't be allowed, well, let them follow the belief. I don't see why they sould force it upon others, also.

Actually, science and religion do work together. Science is here to answer the question: "How did God do it?". If it weren't for religion, many things would have probably never have been discovered, or not until some time later; long time later.

1. still not tellin who they are just telling me to look for it. what stories, where are they?
2. refers to 1 who tells it themselves? and if theyre a convicted criminal why should I take thier word for it? I want proof .
3. refer back to your first post it sounded as if you personally knew the people telling the "mad" stories.thats why asked that way.

like I said before people need something to believe in and if they fall for god or another fictional charactor to make them live better lives great. all worship the holy fonz.

@Zabb: It seems like you want me to do the work for you. Usually when people want proof, they get up and search for it. Google is just a click away [click]. But, if you go to church, you may find people telling their stories. Infact, asks the priests, most of them have their stories. If you think all are fake, then prove it.
