Unsound Unsound:
From the article, it seems that it has more to with tribalism than religion specifically. Religious people in a university setting don't feel as connected to their secular peers and therefore are more willing to act out. I wonder if other marginalized groups would show the same results?
That said, I've known a few waitresses who said that the larger the cross someone's wearing, or the louder they are with the "god bless yous", the smaller the tip. And contractors I know have said that the religious types are more likely to try screwing them on the bill.
I'm not arguing it might be true. I may have even seen it but find it sad as our family is pretty religious and I tip or am honest the same no matter religion or creed. I find it appalling other Christians don't. Who cares if the person you are paying is not Christian or whatever. If you don't tip or treat that person fairly then you are missing the point of your own religion and are a disgrace.
I'm not saying Im perfect, certainly I'm flawed but I'd much rather be known for having a potty mouth as a Christian than being a dishonest thief, and if you are given to much change by the girl at Timmies and know it but don't let her know then that is just what you are IMO.
I sure hope this study is flawed otherwise it is really depressing.
