Religion & Ethics: Content from Across the ABC




Date/Time 29 Dec 2014 1:54:18pm
Are Christians really any more intelligent or ethical than atheists?

How then do you explain the almost never ending religiously motivated wars that ruined much of CHRISTIAN Europe during the post and counter Reformation period?

How do you explain (except via laughter) the claim by George Bush that "God" told him to invade Iraq after Sept 11. Especially when all but 2 of the Sept 11 terrorists were Saudi nationals!

How then do you explain the fact that so many so called conservative Christians find both Rick Perry and Michele Bachmann appealing.

Plus regarding Rick Perry, especially as Simon is a professional ethicist, how many people would Jesus execute. Strange too that Christian America is one of the few countries that still practices Capital Punishment.

And the fact that in the supposedly most "religious" of countries (the USA) that these two double-minded, forked tongued lying dimwits are even considered to be suitable persons to be the President of the USA, which is supposedly an "advanced" democracy. And even considered by some "conservative" pundits to be the last great hope of the world - the light on the hill.
