Actually according to youch chart Christianity is still the main religion, because Catholics and Anglicans belong to the same big Christian family
Christian are still the majority, since all those 3 groups are considered Christian.
The problem is that the various sects of christianity don't agree with each other on pretty much anything... Would a protestant be happy with a catholic pope running the show? No Would catholics be happy with a Mormon or Jehovah's Witness in charge? No The only reason anyone lumps them all together as "Christian" is to outnumber Muslims (only America does this AFAIK)... other countries aren't stupid and keep the denominations separate, because they are separate |

If you come to an atheist and tell him to praise Allah, because it's better than believing in nothing, he'll convert just like that.
You're so dumb Do you really think atheists have never heard of religion and will convert to the first one the hear about? Australia didn't go from <1% atheist to 30%+ because nobody heard of Jesus or Allah... come the fuck on dude... use the brain that nature/evolution gave you |

The big guy did tell the Muslim to get out of his country, etc... it's not like all the name calling was done by one person
Do you really think a Muslim who just got rear-ended is trying to pick a fight with 4+ adults?
Or, is it likely, that the group of 4+ grown adults tried to pick a fight with the Muslim they just crashed into?

“No Religion” Is Now Officially Australia’s Top ReligionAustralian citizens chose “no religion” more than any listed specific denomination on the nation's 2016 Census, making this the first time the “Nones” have overtaken Catholics in the country. In 1966, only 0.8% of Australians chose "no religion". In 50 years "no religion" has climbed from 0.8% to 29.6%! (plus another 9.6% who did not answer the religion question?)  The census data comes at an interesting time, when people all over Australia (and Europe and the U.S.) are worried about being overtaken by Muslims. In fact, some right-wing groups actually warned all citizens not to select the “no religion” option as it may lead to Australia becoming a “Muslim country” (somehow).But not even a conservative fear campaign could stop non-believers in Australia from being heard. About 29.6 percent of Australians chose the “no religion” box — up from 22.6 percent in 2011 — and 9.6 percent chose not to answer the religion question at all. The godless in Australia is a huge force to be reckoned with. Whether you’re an atheist, agnostic, humanist, rationalist, a free-thinker or even someone who considers themselves spiritual but not religious, you’re part of a powerful voting block [sic] that deserves to be heard.
Our political, business and cultural leaders must listen to the non-religious when we demand public policy that’s based on evidence, not religious beliefs. This includes policy on abortion, marriage equality, voluntary euthanasia, religious education in state schools and anything else where religious beliefs hold undue influence.

How can you sell a piece of yourself? After all, trafficking in people is illegal. So why is it allowed to sell unborn children yet? In addition, a woman bearing a child is inflicted enormous harm to her body which is not worth any money. In addition, such children will be weak and more likely to get sick. This is a very dirty business.
There is no evidence to prove that surrogacy is harmful either for the mother or the baby. Most of the babies are healthy and they face no long-term health complications. And in countries where the average salary is like $1,000 per year, a one time payment of $20,000 or $25,000 can go a long way in eradicating poverty. There are negative effects, it is simply not profitable to spread information about them. In the first place, there is a psychological trauma of a mother's break with a child. At the physical level, the implantation of foreign embryos in the mother's body also has a negative effect and very often these rudiments can not take root in a foreign organism. In addition, this affects karma not in the best way. The economy needs to be improved in other ways, and not by this dirty business. You can't just make up bullshit and expect people to believe it Do you have a scientific study you can link which corroborates your claims? No? I didn't think so Karma? Really? Karma?!? ROFL Get over yourself dude... you're a hateful bigot... someone who hates gays for no reason... you literally have NO reason to hate them... YOU cannot even come up with a legitimate reason for your hatred I do not do scientific research, but they are engaged in scientists. To prove the existence of karma and harm to surrogate motherhood is useless. While a person does not want to hear the truth, millions of scientific research and practical facts will not help him. Who said that I hate gays? I treat them neutrally, but I want to help them heal from error because I am cured of it myself. It is clear you hate gays because you think they have a problem that needs to be cured (look up the definition of bigot) You might as well hate left-handed people or vegetarians, and think they need to be cured... it doesn't make sense to say someone "needs to be cured", when they are not ill Alan Turing was gay, and he cracked the Enigma code... if not for him, Hitler would have won WW2, and we would all be Nazi's speaking German You can thank Alan Turing for your Freedom, a gay man saved you from being killed/conquered by Nazi's Alan Turing also invented the computer... if not for Alan Turing, you would not be on your computer on this forum at all What is wrong with being gay that needs to be cured? What is wrong with being left-handed? |

I give them some credit for posting a retraction
I can't say I've ever seen Fox News print a retraction when they post bullshit... Fox "News" loves spreading bullshit fake news
Realistically, they went overboard on the Russia thing for 2 reasons
1) They want to blame someone besides Hillary for her loss
2) They need a distraction or people will talk about healthcare, specifically single-payer
It's mostly the distraction from single-payer healthcare... that's something the media doesn't want because they are oligarchy/friends with the healthcare industry

As if vast majority of violence in the previous one hundred years wasnt commited by secular communists and nazis...
That's so stupid First, Hitler was a Catholic... he believed in god... read his book, Mein Kampf... listen to his speeches... he claims religious authority... Hitler was definitely christian Even if Hitler was an atheist... the German people were christians... the nazi's were christians... German christians murdered the jewsThe people who actually did the murdering in Germany (Hitler never killed anyone), were christian! Besides, everyone knows Christians are the biggest war-mongers on the planet... why do you think America is the biggest threat to world peace? Have you heard of the "Dark Ages", "The Crusades", "The Witch Hunts", et al? Christians/Jews are horrible murderers who have been waging a war against everyone for 4000+ years (The murders of millions of people are well documented in the bible... Jews murdered the inhabitants of more than 60 cities in a single chapter of the bible) |

No dude you're wrong! Christianity is not a poison nor other religions. I respect other religions and myself teach me how to respect others too and thats what your lacking dude "respect"! Even if you dont have religion but you keep on bashing and hating others you're creating poison on your own. 👏
All religions are poison Anything which teaches people to believe things which are not true, is poison... it is detrimental to your mental and physical health along with your chances of success in the real world I do not disrespect religious people... on the contrary... I show the the utmost respect possible, by attempting to cure their mental disease of religion I am only a mirror... I show people the bigotry and hatred that their own religion teaches (because they don't read their own bible or they wouldn't need me to show them) |

Seems like nobody bothered to read the OP... The point of this thread is to show the hypocrisy of prayer When you pray, you are telling god that you don't care what his perfect/divine plan is... you want it YOUR way instead... fuck your plan god, I want a new car... my plan is better than god's plan ME ME ME ME ME... Prayer is all about ME |

Let's discuss some actual videos about evolution shall we? Types of Mutation part IIn his 32nd classroom science video on evolution, Aron describes the basic principle behind evolution... specifically Mutations He describes the difference between a Point mutation (silent, missense, nonsense, substitution, insertion, deletion), and a Frameshift mutation (insertion, deletion) The evidence he presents in just this single 7-minute video is overwhelming for evolution Do you have any evidence to support your opinion that evolution is a hoax? Why is this thread even here? If you don't understand evolution, just watch Aron's 32+ video series |

God can not order to kill people, this is the wrong religion. On the contrary, I believe that God should call for the treatment of people with a homosexual orientation. These people are mistaken and must be guided to the true path. God can only punish them for same-sex sex with various unpleasant diseases.
It's childish and ignorant to say someone needs treatment simply because you don't understand them... You might as well hate vegetarians, or left-handed people... why choose to hate gays? |

It's a good thing the "Theory of Gravity" is just a guess, and it isn't useful for any calculations or predicting future events...
If only Gravity wasn't a "just a theory"... we might send a rocket to the moon... damn shame it's only a Theory of Gravity (BAZINGA!)
Theory means it is proven to be reliable, useful, predictable of future events, and has stood the test of time against any opposition (like BADlogic)
It literally doesn't get better than Theory of Gravity or Theory of Evolution... a scientific theory can be used as if it were a fact, and all your calculations and predictions will work 100% of the time (if they didn't work 100% of the time, it would be downgraded to a hypothesis, or scrapped as just plain wrong... a theory means it is correct and works)
Unlike religion, science can admit to being wrong... if it were wrong, it would correct the mistake, and formulate a better working model
The Theory of Evolution is the current best working model, and it has been proven correct, reliable, and predictive of the future...
If you think you can come up with a better model to fit the evidence, by all means try... but crying because you don't agree with facts is just childish

I am sure this is the end of Ireland because gay,black,and generally different people are totally inferiors.We should one day ignore the xenophobia and overcome our fears.This the only way for a healthy and equal society.
What a bummer... If I'm not allowed to Hate/Fear people who are different than me... who am I supposed to Hate/Fear then? |

Well what a strange conclusion You made there ! I am from Africa, and am a very civilized human being, with no intentions of making harmful acts ! The way I see this, is that you are more prone to do a harmful deed than me, otherwise you would not say something like this !
Just get used to this kind of thing, unfortunately most people have a very wrong idea of Africans Of course Africans do things that I even wonder if they have a brain attached to the neck, but we do not have to be cruel to Africans. I'm African and I'm not ashamed to be African. I'm American and ashamed to be American The people who run my country do not speak for me... they do not listen to me either America is the biggest threat to world peace and everyone knows it, but turns a blind eye... because... money |

have you ever heard of gays getting murdered by Christian terrorists?
Just because it doesn't get reported by the christian media in christian america that a christian murdered a gay... doesn't mean it didn't happen It actually happens so often, there are at least 3 separate lists of incidents on wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Significant_acts_of_violence_against_LGBT_peoplehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_violence_against_LGBT_people_in_the_United_Stateshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violence_against_LGBT_peopleRonald Gay entered a gay bar in Roanoke, Virginia on September 22, 2000, and opened fire on the patrons, killing Danny Overstreet, 43 years old, and severely injuring six others. Ronald said he was angry over what his name now meant, and deeply upset that three of his sons had changed their surname. He claimed that he had been told by God to find and kill lesbians and gay men, describing himself as a "Christian Soldier working for my Lord;" Gay testified in court that "he wished he could have killed more fags," before several of the shooting victims as well as Danny Overstreet's family and friends
Interesting that his last name is Gay... probably what made him so active with the homophobia This is the type of thing that picking on kids, and calling them gay, etc can lead to... terrorism, mass shootings, etc |

Look you know i am right so stop please .. Lets just agree to disagree..  I say a science theory is not fact because they even use the word theory in the sentence .. You are still being intentionally ignorant, so I'll clarify again A fact is one piece a data... a theory is a collection of data... it could never be called the "fact of evolution" because there is more than 1 piece of data... the best it gets is the "theory of evolution" I'm sorry you fail to understand the word theory in a scientific context... theory is the BEST it gets, it does not get any better... you cannot prove it more than theory... theory means it is proven beyond any reasonable doubtThere is zero debate whether scientific theory should be treated as fact or "just a hunch"... among scientists, anything called a theory can be relied upon to be an accurate description of reality... scientists will stake their life on a theory (and do so every day)... theory does not mean hypothesis... theory means it has been proven as well as possible given the entirety of information available to the planet... and zero people have come up with a justifiable reason to doubt the theory So yes, a scientific theory is a reliable fact that explains the data and predicts future outcomes with 100% reliability... scientists do not debate this, because they all understand this simple concept If a theory could not 100% reliably predict future outcomes, it would be downgraded to a hypothesis, and not called a theory Scientists don't debate evolution because there isn't really anything to debate... It's a collection of facts from several different sciences leading to an obvious conclusion... It fucking you .. STUPID CUNT..A theory is not FACT SO FUCK OFF CUNT.. STUPID FUCKERS.. lol, rofl, lmao You mad bro? You want to debate, or just call each other a cunt? LMFAO |
