Voted For Obama? Then You Are Going To Hell

I found this letter from CBS13 in Modesto, CA, where that Priest told his parish that if they voted for Obama they have committed a “mortal sin”.

The Rev. Joseph Illo says his parishioners at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Modesto shouldn’t risk losing their “state of grace” by receiving communion sacrilegiously. He delivered the message in a Nov. 21 letter and during mass.

In an interview this week with the Modesto Bee, Illo says he sent the letter because Catholic teaching requires that people go to confession when they commit a mortal sin.

I don’t know about the hell part, but brain function has definetely been altered.

B’Man’s Sabbath Watch: Study Shows Religion Linked To Immoral Behavior

Food for thought…

The more ‘faithful’ a nation is, the more likely it is to have markers of social pathology; like homicides, suicides, rape, unwed pregnancy, teen pregnancy, and the like.

h/t AfterDowningStreet and Read here and here for a pdf of the study.

From the Abstract of the Study:

Large-scale surveys show dramatic declines in religiosity in favor of secularization in the developed democracies. Popular acceptance of evolutionary science correlates negatively with levels of religiosity, and the United States is the only prosperous nation where the majority absolutely believes in a creator and evolutionary science is unpopular. Abundant data is available on rates of societal dysfunction and health in the first world. Cross-national comparisons of highly differing rates of religiosity and societal conditions form a mass epidemiological experiment that can be used to test whether high rates of belief in and worship of a creator are necessary for high levels of social health. Data correlations show that in almost all regards the highly secular democracies consistently enjoy low rates of societal dysfunction, while pro-religious and antievolution America performs poorly.
