as i posted to you already, *****, lots of politicians benefit from their positions financially. duh.
where does that show CRIMINAL activity, *****?
On our highways there are white stripes painted on the pavement to keep the vehicles safely moving down the road.
On the sides of the road there are barriers of steel ("guard rails") or concrete to prevent vehicles from going off the road.
To a certain way of thinking, many Americans used to believe that how one lived their life was something like a highway.
IF you lived by the moral code of your religion, it would mean that you would have already a certain punishment and/or feelings of guilt from crossing the "white lines" of your religion. So, that if you had actually broken the law ON TOP OF HAVING VIOLATED YOUR RELIGION'S TEACHINGS, that you would already have suffered a great deal.
That's why in old films and TV shows, sometimes bad guys would give themselves up or express so much remorse over their crime (and remorse of a certain type) that the Judge might sometimes take that into consideration and let the offender of certain crimes, go free.
But since folks like you came along, there are no religious "white lines" that you urge people to follow. In fact, you discourage people from having or practicing or advocating, if not talking about, religion.
And without those white pavement markings, the only guidelines you recognize are the written law.
And it's like driving on the side of the road and when you make a mistake, you drive off an embankment.
We are now at a point where many people drive within inches of the guard rails and if there is a rise in serious crime it might be because more young people without a Christian/Judeo spiritual grounding get accustomed to being law breakers and they lose their natural fear of the system and it makes the idea of law breaking less scary.
