If Christianity is not a religion then what is it? A glee club?
The opportunity still exists for you to find a definition of christianity from a standard dictionary which does not mention it being a religion, which is more to the point.
I will need to see exactly how Christianity differs from every other religion in substantial ways, and how instead it compares more to a lack of belief in God before I accept this view. Evasion will be noted.
The facts are that people who identify as Christians have higher divorce rates, earn less income, and are less educated than other "religions." This might well be because so many "Christians" have no moral code and fear no god while all the other "religions" fear a god and have a moral code and follow it.
You are trying to use some dictionary definition of religion to prove that "religious" people have higher divorce rates. earn less income, and are less educated. Dictionaries only provide labels, not facts. In your case the label does not fit the facts. Yet in your abject confusion and misunderstanding you believe you can fit the facts to the definition rather than the definition to the facts.
What on earth are you going on about? I am not trying to 'prove' anything. I was merely replying to your claim that Christianity is not a religion and moreover apparently compares most readily to atheism. Evasion noted.
A person who is not mentally retarded as you
A personal insult is not an argument as I have told you before. I have also told you before that I have an autistic brother and so this is even more offensive than you might hope. I tell you again.
Christians, or large numbers of them anyway, are different from "other" religious people and for obvious reasons.
Tell me the 'obvious reasons'. I asked for your reasoning before. Evasion noted.
You may not deny or affirm any fact based on a definition
Er .. then your words about about Christianity 'not being a religion' based on your own definition of what one is or is not, and of Christians as a supposed fact being 'different' from other religious folk, are neither here nor there since, apparently, I am not permitted to affirm the truth of your statements, even if I wanted to. In fact, by your logic neither are you. All we have is just you running your mouth off. LOL See how this works?
