| Quote (The Ghost of Paley @ Nov. 02 2005,16:33) | | Think about this: if Christianity is so useless in creating a stable society, then why did America's exploding crime rates coincide with the secularization of the public sphere in the mid-sixties? And why did crime rates start falling after Reagan assumed office and Christians resumed a more active role in public life? |
If you check the statistics, it is because Roe vs Wade made abortion available. The subsequent reduction in teenagers caused the reduction in crime rate.
Quite fascinating stuff, statistics.

If I fly the coop some time
And take nothing but a grip
With the few good books that really count
It's a necessary trip
I'll be gone with the girl in the gold silk jacket
The girl with the pearl-driller's hands
