Using the Satanic third-side method ( the " carnal " knowledge transformation of old Hegel's dialectics ), we expect that commonly-held herd beliefs are, in fact, false. Case in point: the old cliche that if everyone would just be ( white-light ) religious, then all our personal and social ills would vanish.
Empirically, religion makes people " worse ", not better. In his latest book " We Are Doomed " author John Derbyshire presents the following data (pg.160 ). Oregon is the least religious state in the USA with 18% unbelievers while Mississippi is the most religious state with only 4% non-believers ( and that is with a margin of error of + or - 3% ! ). Oregon has a Murder rate of 1.9 per 100,000, a births out of wedlock rate of of 28.9 per 100,000, and an AIDS rate of 7.6 per 100,000. Mississippi has a Murder rate 0f 7.1 per 100,000, a births out of wedlock rate of 45.3 per 100,00, and an AIDS rate of 10.9 per 100,000. Nations show the same trends with the most religious nations (Nigeria and Pakistan )excelling in these social distress categories while the least religious nations ( Japan and Norway ) are the lowest in these same categories. Derbyshire cites sociological demographer Gregory Paul: " In general, high rates of belief in, and worship of, a creator correlate with high rates of homicide, juvenile and early adult mortality, sexually transmitted disease infection rates, teen pregnancy and abortions, in prosperous democracies. ". So, as we " evil folk " always suspected, whitelight religion makes people worse - not better !
MUUUHAAAHAAAH !!!
