Why do Christians post to suggest they are so morally unstable that is how they will behave if their faith wavers and become a danger to themselves and others?!
All the mass murderers and virtually all the serial rapists claim god told them to do it all!
Research shows that the reason humans struggle with emotion to find equitable solutions is pinpointed the region of the brain called the insular cortex, or insula, which is also the seat of emotional reactions.
The fact that the brain has such a robust response to unfairness shows that sensing unfairness is a basic evolved capacity.
The emotional response to unfairness pushes people from extreme inequity and drives them to be fair. This observation shows our basic impulse to be fair isn't a complicated thing that we learn.
It therefore fully illustrates that all humans have morals controlled by the brain and that Christians are entirely wrong to try and claim morals as their own!!!!
But Christians found a way round it!
Government statistics show that Christians are vastly over represented in prisons for sexual, violent and fraudulent crime whilst year on year government figures show atheists make up only 2% of the prison population!
The Catholic Church is paying millions in compensation for the sex/paedophile crimes of their priests alone!
Christians are vastly over represented in the divorce courts!
Christians invented the concept of sin and then the idea that you could sin, ask forgiveness, get pardoned and start with a clean sheet!
So no surprise that they are so expert at it is it‽

I am one of the jail guards where I live, and I have not worked there in weeks because the jails are empty. Almost all prisoners brought in are drunks, locked up to keep them (and, society) safe. 39 out of the 40 this year in fact.
Neither. It's because the US has set massive mandatory minimums on relatively minor crimes, and has a justice system that is heavily bent in favor of coercing people to plead guilty because of the so-called "trial tax".
Libertarians have been calling for reform of this for decades, and mainstream Democrats seem to have finally discovered the issue. It's mainly the Republicans standing in the way.

It's because of humans behaving badly.
I am one of the jail guards where I live, and I have not worked there in weeks because the jails are empty. Almost all prisoners brought in are drunks, locked up to keep them (and, society) safe. 39 out of the 40 this year in fact.
It's because for-profit prisons maneuver things so they get the maximum payments.
BTW, murder rates are higher in the Bible Belt. Higher in the US than in less religious countries, too.
I'm sure that's exactly why. It couldn't be that our prisons are a for-profit industry now, overflowing with non-violent drug offenders.

Because people are sent to jail for stupid reasons, especially in the UK and even more so in the US.
