On Hell |
Liberalism destroys functional culture and is not
pragmatic. Conservatism is at least pragmatic.

Believing in Hell Has Its Benefits

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Economists searching for reasons why some nations are richer than others
have found that those with a wide belief in hell are less corrupt and more prosperous, according to
a report by the Federal Reserve (news - web sites) Bank of St. Louis.
Researchers at the regional Federal Reserve bank acknowledged the importance of productivity and
investment in the economic process but looked at some recent unconventional efforts to explain
differences in national prosperity.
The St Louis Fed drew on work by outside economists who studied 35 countries, including the United
States, European nations, Japan, India and Turkey and found that religion shed some useful light.
"In countries where large percentages of the population believe in hell, there seems to be less
corruption and a higher standard of living," the St. Louis Fed said in its July quarterly review.
For instance, 71 percent of the U.S. population believe in hell and the country boasts the world's
highest per capita income, according to the 2003 United Nations (news - web sites) Human
Development Report and 1990-1993 World Values Survey.
Ireland, not far behind the United States in terms of income, likewise has a healthy fear of a
nether world with 53 percent of the population acknowledging hell's existence.

We're in the handbasket now.

I smell a marketing campaign. "Hell, it's good for the economy."
Researchers at the regional Federal Reserve bank acknowledged the importance of productivity and
investment
Wow, it was nice of them to acknowledge productivity and investment,
because God knows it's easy to overlook those things when you're on
the important task of establishing why hell is good.
in the economic process but looked at some recent unconventional efforts to explain
differences in national prosperity.
"Unconventional" meaning flaky, tinfoil, and "they are hiding the
Truth
from You, Seeker".
The St Louis Fed drew on work by outside economists who studied 35 countries,
Oh well, here's the problem. The finest 35 cherries, picked for the
results they would give.
including the United
States, European nations, Japan, India and Turkey and found that religion shed some useful light.
Now, why aren't we looking at the rest of the world? Oh yes, the
variables
are too diverse. It's like apples and oranges to compare Europe to
Latin America. It's not fair to Hell.

Ireland's prosperity is recent. They didn't even look at things
longitudinally.

You two clowns never say anything - you simply adopt the work of others as
