I call BS on you being real. No one is this diligent at failing over and over again.
Britons are people living in Britain.
Christian population of 6%. Hmm...
Let's take at the link YOU SENT ME.
Belief in the UK
We all know that church attendance has been falling and 50 years ago over half of people in the UK would go to Church. While belief in Christianity may have declined at 58% of the population it can still claim to have a majority of the population. Atheists and Agnostics represent 33% of the population and are still in the minority.
It's right below the 15% churchgoing statistic. This would be right in line with the claim that 40% advocate creationism.
Have some damned credibility. At least check what you're posting before you hit reply.

Yea, I like direct quotations too! High five! Next time try not to fuck up in the same sentence.

It's the country with the most Christians and the largest world influence. You'd be dumb to dismiss something so glaringly obvious. Did you think that the UK is the world's authority on Christianity?

Would you like an appeal to authority? Most of my friends are Christian. All of my family is Christian. I've been to Christian churches many times, varying denominations. I've had in-depth discussions with pastors and priests on more than one occasion, as well as lengthy debates with friends in which they brought up points that make more sense than anything you've ever posted. For a large part of my life, I was Christian and believed in God. I live in the most Christian nation and we currently have a Christian President and Congress. I've read most of the Bible, and am expanding on this knowledge daily.
But I have no idea what Christianity is about. Can you tell me?

You can quote me examples of people who don't believe in God as they believe in God?
What the hell are you talking about?

It's a nice way to admit you don't understand the subject material.

Very eloquently put. Grain of salt taken.

This is non-negotiable? Do you speak for all Christians? You come here, talk about audacity, and then say "this is non negotiable". Oh, the ironing.

I come from a position of observation, you apparently come from a position of rationalization and willful ignorance. You dodge questions and have real trouble understand most concepts that are written about on these forums. You're asked what your subjective evidence is for your belief, and you dodge left and right, while condemning others because they don't agree with your world view and call you out on your BS.
I haven't been here long, but I can see that you're a troll and are utterly outmatched intellectually by virtually everyone on this board, theists and all.
If you're ready to discuss subjects rationally, we can do so. Don't perpetuate the shitstorm.
