+1000! Thank you John for bringing up this comparison. some people just don't "get it". Seems like since the early 60's more and more people have moved away from moral guidance into doing their own thing. Not really caring about what consequences may come with this. No wonder some many kids these days are screwed up and killing each other or their parents or grandparents etc...

Conservative estimates place the number of dead brought about under communist/totalitarianism at 200,000,000.
If we allow ourselves to extrapolate those numbers over the past 2000 years, I believe we would see that religion saved more lives than were taken by the zealots that twisted religion to suit their lust for power. -
Um, I don't need religion to have a strong moral compass. And I know plenty of truly religious people that I wouldn't trust to get my mail for me. There really isn't a true correlation between the two."I did not slap you. I high-fived your face."

Recognizing that religion in the public sphere is an all-or-none deal, I would like to use this thread as an opportunity to wish everyone an (early) Happy Festivus!

I agree, I believe it's a combination of things (moral compass), most importantly PARENTS.Source: Bluesound Node 2i - Preamp/DAC: Benchmark DAC2 DX - Amp: Parasound Halo A21 - Speakers: MartinLogan Motion 60XTi - Shop Rig: Yamaha A-S501 Integrated - Shop Spkrs: Elac Debut 2.0 B5.2 -
