Here's a discovery that could make secular parents say hallelujah: Children who grow up in non-religious homes are more generous and altruistic than children from observant families. ...
A series of experiments involving 1,170 kids from a variety of religious backgrounds found that the non-believers were more likely to share stickers with their classmates and less likely to endorse harsh punishments for people who pushed or bumped into others.
The results "contradict the common-sense and popular assumption that children from religious households are more altruistic and kind toward others," according to a study published this week in the journal Current Biology.
Worldwide, about 5.8 billion people consider themselves religious, and religion is a primary way for cultures to express their ideas about proper moral behavior — especially behavior that involves self-sacrifice for the sake of others.

Sorry to reply to myself yet again, but we live in interesting times. Pope Francis I is the last pope as the prophecy has it. As an Amazon, I must dispute the reliance on water dowsing. The patterns seem to be coming together, however. The Dalai Lama intends to discorporate at the end of his current incarnation.
The Maitreya Buddha won't come for another 10,000 years at least. (A short time in the dreams of the Brahman.)
What is going to happen? They want to backdoor encryption. There's TPP, TISA, and TTIP. I am deeply concerned. I have had many disturbing dreams myself lately, mostly about buying a new house and being unable to transfer my possessions into the new house.
Should I be concerned? Should I plan on discorporation before 2019?
