    Why do you tell so many LIES??????????

    Government statistics show that Christians are vastly over represented in prisons for sexual, violent and fraudulent crime whilst year on year government figures show atheists make up only 2% of the prison population!

    Most prison inmates claim Christianity.

    Care to offer evidence?  According to prison census data, more than 90% of convincts identify as Christian.  

  • Why do they use evil, since they don't believe there is a God!

    So, they will pay here, on earth, with prison, and they will pay in hell for all the evil they have done on earth.

    They aren't. Atheists are under-represented in the prison population.  Most inmates are believers. And no, it's not because they convert in prison. Statistics on religious affiliation are collected on entry into the system.

    US jails are full of believers, not atheists.  Look at the stats from the US Department of Corrections.

    The problem is that these people never believe in heaven and hell or after live , so they can do all evils things in this world. That is why.

    Actually they are full of Christians but don't let reality get in the way of your hate-filled fantasies.
