 Religious Canadians bend morals for the almighty buck Do unto others — so long as you recognize them from church. Incongruous as it sounds, a new Canadian study discovers that the more importance people place on religion, the more likely they are to lie for financial gain.

I always thought it was extremely stupid to teach children that they are sinners for this reason.
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 wouldn't put too much weight in the worlds of one of the greatest champions of South African apartheid.

The separation of "special" from the rest of society can always create dangerous tendencies. Unless that special is truly defined in such a way to encourage values of truth and justice.

That makes it all right for people to do things in exact contrast to what they believe in, I suppose. Oh, wait . . .

A quote by a champion of apartheid isn't going to make me like him anymore.
Not asking you to. But you might try separating the man from the message. I try not to judge any person of the past by the standards we have today, whether it's Ghandi or my Grandfather.

Ghandi was a big proponet that India was the greatest place on Earth, and it's people were also. He also fell victim to the 'class' system in India, and as such though 'Kaffirs' or 'Blacks' were of a lower caste than Indians. He wrote quite extensivley about it.
Eg: “The decision to open the school for all Coloured children is unjust to the Indian community, and is a departure from the assurance given… that the school will be reserved for Indian children only.”
“I acquainted the Governor with what had happened and told him there was urgent need for separate lavatories for Indians. I also told him that Indian prisoners should never be lodged with Kaffirs. The Governor immediately issued an order for a lavatory for Indians to be sent on from the Central Gaol. Thus, from the next day the difficulty about lavatories disappeared.”
Such things, 100 years later, really are minor.
Of course, under my suggestion, the Town Council must withdraw the Kaffirs from the Location. About this mixing of the Kaffirs with the Indians I must confess I feel most strongly. I think it is very unfair to the Indian population, and it is an undue tax on even the proverbial patience of my countrymen.
Kaffir was an extremely vile slur of the time.
