You think that's bad? Did you know that secular Satanists are also trying to pluck the Jesus out of Christmas? Heehee! :)

No, it means that most of the prisoners say they are "Christians" whether they are or not in order to get favorable consideration at parole. As most people in the US fall into the Christian category, it is no surprise. Why would this be persecution of Christians? If anything it is persecution of some blacks who are jailed at a higher rate than whites committing the same crime.

Um, noooo. It's proof that either Christians commit more crime or that they're stupid enough to get caught or both. I don't think the judges take a religion census and decide to only send the Christians to jail. The statistics about religion of prisoners are taken AFTER they're incarcerated, not before. Give me a break.

I watched on the news last night that the California prisons are so overly populated that they have no choice but to start releasing many prisoners. Of course it will be those that are in for the lesser of violent crimes. Could this be the work of God? They were not christians before they got locked up, they were converted. A lot of pastors are ex-prisoners. I know this one pastor that told me about when he was in prison he had a dream that Satan was trying to take him and he said he sat straight up in his bunk and screamed "No". In the blink of an eye, he was basically transformed.

I would like to know where you got this information from because you can check the statistics on this and they clearly show that the majority of inmates in American prisons are one of the many different Muslim sects, JW's and Catholics in that order. The Christians are few.

No, it's proof of one of two things: 1. Christians are committing a lot of crimes, or 2. They convert once they have been incarcerated. Either way, most times those behind bars are there because they committed a crime, not because of their religious affiliation.

Don't think so.
Just flock of lost sheep wandering lost in time.
At loss with our creator's universal gifts of life.
That came like a 3-in-one instant coffee pack.
When they have one part with two misssing.
Ever wonder what is the mystery of "The Prodigal Son"?
Why we need a shepherd with the wooden staff to guide them home?
Ever wonder why the mess must be solve and it begins with Iraq.

No. If anything it proves America Christians are law breakers. However, I am sure that they are a minority of Christians.

I don't think religion has anything to do with incarceration. People are sentenced to jail/prison because of criminal acts, not because of their religion of preference. Don't ask silly questions!

No, it proves that prisoners converts to christianity in prison to try and 'prove' they are reformed and get out of prison sooner during their parole hearings.
Please check up on your facts- it is a known phenomenon.
