Source?

I don’t see Mexico, Columbia, and other crime hotspots in this hemisphere listed there.
 
Well for that matter, we are mostly Protestant in this country and every president of ours has been a WASP except for one who was killed. I guess we should be on that list as well. I don’t find that source very reliable.
 
The stats are a bit incomplete. For instance how is it addressed when there are many more laws in the US than in some other countries and somethings are illegal here that are not illegal in other countries. There are some countries that have a serious lack of legal enforcement, are the unenforced crimes in these countries taken into account? This list also does not address the seriousness of the crimes. is a 20 year old drinking given the same weight in the ranking as a murder?
 
I don’t know if asking us to look at the relationship between religion and violence is such a good idea…
 
I don’t think it’s that simple, considering a lot of people who are listed as such and such (about religion) are not really religious, they are just officially listed.

Don’t post these kind of things, these would imply that you have to be catholic not to comitt crimes, which is incorrect and also historically inaccurate.

It implies nothing of the sort…

Actually, it was just some statistics i found… I don’t trust statistics very much… there are many factors to be considered when speaking of “crime” and “rate” … etc…

However, it doesn’t surprise me that predominantly Catholic coutnries are not on the list, places like Brazil, Mexico…

Catholics don’t believe in Once Saved Always Saved… If a person really knows the Faith (which means knowing Scirpture), he/she is going to have a healthy fear of God… Only those who thoroughly know the Word of God have this healthy fear of God… because that is where it is written ab out… You don’t hear terms like “wrath of God” anywhere else… becasue everyone wants to think God is all warm and fuzzy & wouldn’t punish anyone for his sins…

Well… all i can say is that God is love AND He is perfectly JUST…

Have you ever studied the history of Germany around 1520-1600? Martin Luther, the 1st one to “successfully” :rolleyes: break from the Roman Catholic Church, approved of violence… and his followers destroyed Churches and persecuted Catholics… In england and elsewhere, priests were hunted down & murdered…

M. Luther’s once-saved-always saved nonsense did massive damage to Christianity… and continues to do so…

Also, Mary @ Fatima says that many people end up in Hell…
very few go directly to Heaven…

Sin is far more serious than people seem to realize…
 
I would like to know which Posters are Catholic & which ones not…

Fool those countries have alot of muzzies its not the protestants
 
of course placing two groups of statistics next to one another does not in any way prove there is any relationship between the two. Do you have any proof that these stats actually show a relationship or not?
 
My source was:

I typed in Countries with Highest crime rate in a search engine… (yahoo??)

I find your understanding of history to be very selective. I point out, for instance, that the conflict after Luther was a result of a Catholic crackdown by Charles V. The war was a result of Catholic leaders not liking the new protestant ideas. Instead of tolerating them, they cracked down and marched on the territories that wouldn’t conform to the demands of the Second Diet of Speyer. You make it seem like the city-states and nations that protested the Catholic crackdown were the ones who marched on Catholics at the beginning. That’s not true. There is blood on everyone’s hands and the Church is certainly not immune.

I further point out the first group to ‘successfully’ break away from Catholicism was the Eastern Orthodox Church in 1000-ish C.E.
