Subject: The Christians HATE alcohol
Hey, nothing agaisnt the Christians who are cool and let other people
drink to their heart's content.

It's in history that they were behind the PROHIBITION, and we know
full well that they are behind the War on Drugs for the same reason:
They are MORALIZING, which brings any amount of HYPOCRISY, VIOLENCE
AND EVEN IMMORALITY to society.

But hey, who cares if they have it their way. The LIVE AND LET LIVE
philosophy scares them. People may stop going to churches praying for
Jesus coming to get them out of the misery and sin.

I say the Devil is loose in this world. Well, not a real mean Devil,
but you know what I mean...

HOW DO YOU RATE THEM?

a) They are moralizing but not very moral
b) They practice what they preach
c) The devil is in the PROHIBITION

Where are the Christians standing up against the STUPID, CRIMINAL
prohibition of drugs?

Or they don't hear about all the prison overpopulation and the war in
Mexico? Maybe they don't want to hear. ;)

Wow, the whole "paint *all* believers with the same brush"
concept just flies right over some peoples' heads.

My experience is that Christians are at heart compassionate
people.  When you approach them on the matter of (for example)
what's the best way to minister to homeless drunks you'll find
that practically every inner-city outreach program being run
involves getting people warm and safe and fed.

Christians know as well as anyone else that helping people
means helping - shipping drunken vagrants off to jail wouldn't
help anything.

The main reason you don't see more Christians talking about
how the "incarceration nation" strategy hurts more than it helps
is that confrontational atheists can't refrain from side-tracking
discussions into petty bickering about doctrine that doesn't
have a direct impact on anybody's life.

We hear clearly. Since the government won't legalize drugs, addicts
should quit. That is a sure way to prevent the violence. No demand, no
supply. Junkies clearly are propagating the violence.

This case is CLOSED.

Well, I don't know about "them," but I want to see real solutions,
liberalizing drugs like in Holland. Anything less is...

H-Y-P-O-C-R-I-S-Y. ;)

It's a POLITICAL SOLUTION that we need, not the churches controlling
the handouts to the poor and having "recovery programs" for the drunks
that don't recover anyone. If they do it, they do for a very practical
reason: TO GAIN SOULS. ;)

Crime has changed, but personally I'm not sure I feel more
safe now than I did back in the 70s.  Drug addicts were not
the ones who robbed upward of 3 trillion dollars from the
global economy just this past year.  Drug addicts didn't
fly planes into the towers in NYC.  They were never the
worst of our problems.

The guy down the street from me driving the big SUV (the
oil addict) puts more money into the pockets of America's
enemies than drug addicts do, but incarceration just isn't
the answer to every problem.

Incarceration Reduces Crime

Table of Contents: Further Readings

Morgan Reynolds, testimony before the House Subcommittee on Crime,
Committee on the Judiciary, Washington, DC, October 2, 2002.

Morgan Reynolds is the director of the Criminal Justice Center at the
National Center for Policy Analysis, a nonprofit, nonpartisan think
tank. He is also a professor of economics at Texas A&M University.

Crime rates have decreased dramatically as a result of the increased
imprisonment of criminal offenders. More stringent sentencing laws and
a stronger system of enforcement have helped put offenders behind
bars. When the risk of imprisonment increases, crime rates drop.
Criminals are fully aware of the consequences of prison and often give
up crime so as not to return to prison in the future. Changes in
criminal behavior will not come from liberal rehabilitation programs
but rather from incapacitation.

Note: Editor's Note: The following viewpoint was originally given as
testimony before the U.S. House of Representatives on October 2,
2002.

My name is Morgan Reynolds and I am Director of the Criminal Justice
Center at the National Center for Policy Analysis [NCPA], a private,
nonprofit, nonpartisan think tank headquartered in Dallas, Texas, and
Professor of Economics at Texas A&M University in College Station,
Texas. I appreciate the invitation to testify before the [U.S. House
of Representatives] subcommittee today [October 2, 2002] on the
question of whether or not punishment works to reduce crime.

The answer is obvious to most Americans—yes, of course punishment
reduces crime. Punishment converts criminal activity from a paying
proposition to a nonpaying proposition, at least sometimes, and people
respond accordingly. We all are aware of how similar incentives work
in our lives, for example, choosing whether or not to drive faster
than the law allows. (How many of us in this room, for example, have
run afoul of law enforcement on a traffic charge?) Incentives matter,
including the risks we are willing to run. This is only a commonsense
observation about how people choose to behave. Yet controversy over
the very existence of a deterrence and incapacitation effect of
incarceration has raged in elite circles.

Reduced crime rates

The first duty of a scientist, it's been said, is to point out the
obvious. The logic of deterrence is pretty obvious, but I must point
to evidence too, which is overwhelming, for the negative impact of
punishment on crime. Evidence ranges from simple facts to
sophisticated statistical and econometric studies.

Even experts who disagree with each other about some aspects of
criminal justice are in agreement about deterrence. For example, when
Forbes magazine asked John Lott, senior research scholar at Yale Law
School and author of More Guns, Less Crime, "Why the recent drop in
crime?" he responded, "Lots of reasons—increases in arrest rates,
conviction rates, prison sentence lengths." And Daniel Nagin, a
Carnegie-Mellon University professor of public policy who co-authored
an article in the Journal of Legal Studies critical of Lott's work on
concealed carry laws, says in The Handbook of Crime and Punishment,
Oxford, 1998, "The combined deterrent and incapacitation effect
generated by the collective actions of the police, courts, and prison
system is very large."

In sharp contrast to the situation ten years ago, experts who assert
the contrary are fighting a rearguard action. Crime rates have fallen
30 percent over the last decade while the prison and jail population
doubled to two million. Most people are able to connect these dots
(The New York Times aside), and even the academy has caught on. As
German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer said, truth passes through
three stages, first, it is ridiculed, second, it is violently opposed,
and third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

Simple, everyday facts about crime are easy to explain from an
incentive-based perspective and hard to explain from any other
perspective:

•The cops are never around when you need them (because criminals are
not stupid enough to commit crimes in front of the cops).
•When the police participate in a labor strike or "sick out," crime
sprees break out (and in the aftermath of natural disasters, looting
runs riot unless the Guard is called up).
•Prison and jail officials daily manage two million less-than-model
citizens living in close quarters with few incidents (order is
sustained because inmates heed incentives).

Prisons protect society

Given the avarice of man, the hard reality is that the threat of bad
consequences, including public retribution posed by the legal system,
is vital to secure human rights to life and property against
predation. If men were angels, as James Madison said, we'd have no
need of government.

The sad part about prisons is that the most effective crime reducer is
the intact family. But government policies have gone far to undermine
the family, intensifying the crime problem (welfare, taxes, no-fault
divorce, etc.). As internal restraints (character, morality, virtue)
degrade, we lamentably rely on external restraints to protect
civilization, at least in the short run. As Edmund Burke, English
political philosopher, said, "Society cannot exist unless a
controlling power upon will and appetite be placed somewhere, and the
less of it there is within, the more there must be without ... men of
intemperate minds cannot be free. Their passions forge their
fetters."

Human behavior

Criminality is purposeful human behavior. The testimony of criminals
provides perhaps our strongest evidence that, in the vast majority of
cases, lawbreakers reason and act like other human beings (also a
fundamental proposition in the justice system). Criminologists Richard
Wright and Scott Decker interviewed 105 active, nonincarcerated
residential burglars in St. Louis, Mo. Burglar No. 013 said, "After my
eight years for robbery, I told myself then I'll never do another
robbery because I was locked up with so many guys that was doin' 25 to
30 years for robbery and I think that's what made me stick to
burglaries, because I had learned that a crime committed with a weapon
will get you a lot of time."

Burglars also choose their targets by considering both risks and
rewards. For example:

•Burglars avoid neighborhoods that are heavily patrolled or
aggressively policed: "You got to stay away from where the police ride
real tough."
•Nine out of 10 burglars say they always avoid breaking into an
occupied residence: "I rather for the police to catch me vs. a person
catching me breaking in their house because the person will kill you.
Sometimes the police will tell you, 'You lucky we came before they
did.'"
•Realistically enough, burglars perceive the chance of being
apprehended for a given break-in as extremely slim, partly because
they efficiently search the master bedroom first (cash, jewelry, guns)
and do not linger inside the target.

The value of punishment in crime prevention

Only after World War II did scholars begin to statistically study the
effects of deterrence. Today a large body of scholarly literature
generally confirms the value of punishment in the prevention of
crime.

Perhaps the most widely cited is Isaac Erhlich's 1973 study of
punishment and deterrence in the Journal of Political Economy. Using
state data for 1940, 1950 and 1960, Ehrlich found that crime varied
inversely with the probability of prison and the average time served.

More recently, University of Chicago economist Steven Levitt estimated
that for each 10 percent rise in a state's prison population,
robberies fall 7 percent, assault and burglary shrink 4 percent each,
auto theft and larceny decline 3 percent each, rape falls 2 11/42
percent and murder drops 1 11/42 percent. On average, 10 to 15 nondrug
felonies are eliminated for each additional prisoner locked up, saving
social costs estimated at $53,900, well in excess of the $30,000 it
costs annually to incarcerate a prisoner.

Scholars also ask which provides the greater deterrent, certainty or
severity of punishment? One provocative study involving prisoners and
college students came down firmly ...

Hey, that's a metaphorical mask, of course. We are too liberated to go

Yes, the Christians know all about it: STUPIDITY IS HIGHLY ADDICTIVE

Doing it in HIDING is NOT the solution.

FACT: AMERICA IS THE #1 CHRISTIAN NATION ALSO LEADING IN CONSUMPTION
OF THE "ILLEGAL STUFF."

Assume some scenario out of the Middle Ages or Middle East whatever
(Galileo if you will), where they torture you and have you "convert"
to the Faith? Hey, SURVIVAL is the name of the game in the jungle, so
you say "YES!"

Well, I'm ready for it. I will convert to this "sect"...

Yes, my fellow Atheists, you may choose to die, like the Christians
did at the Roman Circus (good show, huh?), but I'm cool with Marley,
the Freedom to smoke or not, Justice and the Revolution. Yeah man! ;)

WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE

I can only speak for our Country. Perhaps you have some data you would
like to share with us.

It's too late today. Perhaps tomorrow.

I've thought you knew it was self-evident for America.

Well banana speaking on behalf of the Christians all over the world.
We enjoy locking up the sinners so they can be saved. It is our
Christian duty. Us Chistians plot all day long against the drug using

Get Up, Stand Up lyrics

Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up, don't give up the fight

Preacher man don't tell me
Heaven is under the earth
I know you don't know
What life is really worth
It's not all that glitters is gold
Half the story has never been told
So now you see the light
Stand up for your rights

Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up, don't give up the fight

Most people think
Great good will come from the skies
Take away everything
And make everybody feel high
But if you know what life is worth
You would look for yours on earth
And now you've seen the light
You stand up for your rights

Get up, stand up (yeah, yeah)
Stand up for your rights (oh)
Get up, stand up (get up stand up)
Don't give up the fight (life is your right)
Get up stand up (so we can't give up the fight)
Stand up for your right (lord lord)
Get up, stand up (people struggling on)
Don't give up the fight (yeah)

We're sick and tired of your ism-schism game
To die and go to heaven in Jesus' name
We know and understand
Almighty God is a living man
You can fool some people sometimes
But you can't fool all the people all the time
And now we've seen the light (What you gonna do)
We gonna stand up for our rights

Get up, stand up
Stand up for you rights
Get up, stand up
Stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up
Stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up
Don't give up the fight

But then you get in your SUVs and go back your Gated Communities that

Do you know about the jungle out there? See all those in the cage for

Subject: Re: I declare the Messiah to be...
Let's look at the definition of it...

1- The anticipated savior of the Jews.
2- Jesus.
3- One who is anticipated as, regarded as, or professes to be a savior
or liberator.

http://education.yahoo.com/reference/dictionary/entry/Messiah

I don't care about #1 or #2, because I'm neither Jew nor Christian,
and not even the Theologians can figure out the Bible, so #3 becomes
key to the riddle. My favorite is a man that says,

"We're sick and tired of your ism-schism game
To die and go to heaven in Jesus' name
We know and understand
Almighty God is a living man
You can fool some people sometimes
But you can't fool all the people all the time"

Yes, I've heard him many times and he has a lot of good vibes, and so
do the ones who like him give you GOOD ENERGY AND MESSAGES OF FREEDOM.
The ones that preach ONE LOVE, that LIVE AND LET LIVE...

Yeah man, I declare Bob Marley to be the Messiah or Liberator, a word
I prefer.

I do so in my capacity of King of the Apes, Comandante Banana and a
few other encarnations I have taken on my path to enlightenment. And
if you don't believe me, give him a listen one more time... ;)

This definition caught my attention...

(from Last.FM)

"Jamaican reggae music is one of the best-known genres of music around
the world, uniting people of all countries, all races, and all
religions with a sound that is dedicated to searching for the answers
to life, to conflict, to humanity, to the world, to love."

And if you believe in an ENERGY INSTEAD, that's you religion, and if
you believe in the FULL MOON, that's your religion, and if you believe
in TRUTH, that's your religion.

MY RELIGION IS TRUTH.

Thank you and good night, sleep tight, and be ready for more hot
debates tomorrow. Yes, I listen to reggae while writing here, which
gives me a powerful energy few mortals can match. The marijuana is
optional, but I expect Christians to be missing both the reggae and
the pot, and so they sound terribly boring and out of touch with
reality. I just go to sleep now...
