            This morning, I wanted my Mom (she died 8+ years ago), and was in tears a half-hour after I woke up.

            When I walked into church this morning, it was like my church Mamas knew exactly what to do. Held me tight. Didn't say much. I left feeling a lot better.

            There are good Christians out there. I just happened to find a whole bunch of them.

                Rut roh.

                A team of developmental psychologists led by Prof. Jean Decety examined the perceptions and behavior of children in six countries. The study assessed the children’s tendency to share—a measure of their altruism—and their inclination to judge and punish others for bad behavior.

                Children from religious families were less likely to share with others than were children from non-religious families. A religious upbringing also was associated with more punitive tendencies in response to anti-social behavior.

                The results were at odds with the perceptions of religious parents, who were more likely than non-religious parents to report that their children had a high degree of empathy and sensitivity to the plight of others.

                “Our findings contradict the common-sense and popular assumption that children from religious households are more altruistic and kind toward others. In our study, kids from atheist and non-religious families were, in fact, more generous,” said Decety, the Irving B. Harris Distinguished Service Professor in Psychology and Psychiatry and the College and director of the University of Chicago Child NeuroSuite.

                The study included 1,170 children between ages 5 and 12, from six countries—Canada, China, Jordan, South Africa, Turkey and the United States.
                I'm sure supernaturalists will include this as a data point in the continuing striving for more ethical behavior.

                  Whenever someone says something is "common-sense", odds are they just pulled it out of their arse, or learned it from someone else who pulled it out of his/her arse, and are trying to use it to end the argument that they know they are losing. Whether it's a Republican trying to explain the concept of trickle-down economics, or a Christian trying to explain the logic behind the story of Creation and Original Sin.

                          We can presume most if not all of the victims were boys. It needs to be made clear to show that this is a problem of active homosexuality in the priesthood. Homosexuality and coercing vulnerable boys into homosexual acts are the same thing. This is not pedophilia.
