宗教对犯罪率的影响
更加信仰基督的地方有更多的社会弊病和犯罪。这是格雷戈里。保罗在学术杂志《宗教
与社会》上发表的初步结论，这个杂志是内布拉斯加州一所教会学校的学报。
http://moses.creighton.edu/JRS/2005/2005-11.html
研究表明，基督教统治的美国南部和中西部地区，社会弊端和犯罪更严重，谋杀，性病
，死亡率更高。这项研究还表明，美国的犯罪率和基督徒比例，比其他发达世界国家都
高得多。
无法回避的现实是，基督教的教条更合适一个病态的社会。宗教狂热分子和极端主义比
毒品危害更大。
理性的人认识到基督教神话的荒谬可怜，而基督徒，尤其是福音派，或原教旨主义者，
不过是一些伪君子，用宗教作为武器来贬低他人。
格雷戈里。保罗的研究首次量化了基督教教义产生的社会效果。不只是基督教，一切狂
热的邪教都可能会有类似的邪恶效果。
当然，天主教会花了几百年压迫陷入贫困和苦难的老百姓。穆斯林有同样的呼吁

加拿大富豪更加富有
据《福布斯》透露，今年榜上亿万富翁的总资产达到4.5万亿美元，比加拿大国民生产总值的三倍还多。墨西哥电信巨头卡洛斯·埃卢(Carlos Slim Helú)蝉联全球首富，比尔·盖茨和巴菲特紧随其后，三者身家依次为740亿、560亿、500亿美元。
今年，全球富豪最多的国家依然是美国，富豪最集中的地区是北美洲。加拿大本来是美洲地区除美国之外亿万富豪最多的国家，但是今年却被巴西(共有30名富豪上榜)打败而排行第三。值得注意的是，近年来来自北美和欧洲以外国家的富豪比例有增多的趋势。
在上榜的1200多人中，有24人是加拿大人，其中有三名是今年新上榜的，而两名去年上榜的富豪无缘本次的排名。据统计，上榜加拿大富豪的身价达到850亿美元，比去年增加了15%——这说明他们更加富有了。

inflated and carrying huge amount of future liability in the form of
national debt.
That is why this Ginny thing is CRAP! |

发帖数: 5309 | 45 I don't understand your point. If China is still relying on an export

The abuses of the upper crust in Imperial Russia brought bloody revolution

out the guillotine. The rulers of ancient Rome lost their empire to pride,
greed and infighting. America is in a stranglehold of left vs. right while
big corps pull the strings of both. We are fools to think corporations value
