The Proof You Seek

I have a few questions ?  Why do most criminals suddenly "find" god  when they are locked up..  As for people following christ ,Just because they go to church does not make the good.. I have seen a few of those hipocrits  call racial names or swear in one breath, then praise god in the next.. Guess doesnt matter what you do as long as you go to church..

Hypocrisy is rampant among xtians, (although not restricted to them).  Ranging from the general examples you've mentioned through 'selective irrationality', (deciding when reason applies and randomly selecting when it does not; as in the case of religious beliefs).  For instance, touting the tenents of honesty and integrity while the foundaations of a religious belief were stolen outright, modified in order to absorb pre-existing pagan beliefs and then not owning up to it would not exemplify honesty and integrity.

James Randi talked about this in an interview a long time ago. It's mainly because it gives them comfort and acts as a method of them trying to find redemption for their past deeds that led them to prison. In these cases, I don't see much of a problem if they're simply trying to change their lives around. Don't get me wrong-- It's still absurd, but if it keeps them stay out of trouble, I see no major harm being done if it helps them cope.

Do you know the Original Poster to this thread or something? Because she's said some pretty racist things in the past (fearmongering against muslims a while back for instance) which are always followed by praising her deity.

Welcome to the southern mindset on politics! lol

Indeed they take the period of grace too far and deny the father and the son(Jude 4). Also inmates are preached to as well by various religious groups mine included.
