[tips] Angry God, angry people

[Pollak, Edward]

Angry God, angry people
New re­search may clar­i­fy the re­la­tion­ship be­tween re­li­gious 
in­doc­tri­na­tion and vi­o­lence, a top­ic that has gained new no­to­ri­ety 
since the Sept. 11 at­tacks. 

In the stu­dy, psy­chol­o­gist Brad Bush­man of the Uni­ver­si­ty of Mich­i­gan 
in Ann Ar­bor, Mich. and col­leagues sug­gest that vi­o­lence sanc­tioned by 
God in scrip­tures can in­crease ag­gres­sion, es­pe­cial­ly in be­liev­ers.
