Whether or not Christianity has any basis in fact is another topic for another thread. I would argue it at least has the person of Jesus of Nazareth and is in fact a world religion and so forth. And I have not made wild claims about it without researching it thoroughly.
But the previous poster made an assertion that nothing exists where I believe it does exist and I suspect he hasn't done the research. I don't, however, have the data on hand, so I can't specifically refute the poster.
As for irony, I can't help but make this little dig: The irony of all this righteous indignation in defense of the unrighteous, from (many) people who even reject the notion of righteousness; the moral pronouncements coming from (many) people who reject that which is moral (yes, now I'm sounding like a preacher. Stop that) is equally ironic.
It really comes down to this, going way back to where I began. Many of you and I just have a radically different perception of what is and isn't ethical. I just happen to hold to the ethics common to one of the world's largest religions and the faith that heavily influenced the founding of the country I live in. Why does this surprise and infuriate (many of) you so much? Welcome to America.
