Hmmmm...Funny this part of the article....
"hardcore criminals often co-opt religious doctrine to justify or further their crimes."
reminds me of Black Liberation Theology.....I wonder why that is.....?
There's a fairly obvious explanation. Religion has been watered down more and more over the course of my life. Authority has been ceded from the pastoral staff to the parishoners. The flock calls the shots and they each have their own flavour on religious teachings. The churches respond by stretching their principles, taking the edge off their teachings.
More and more folks are rolling their own where it comes to religion. One from column A, two from column B.
