Is it hell as like a nonsequitur. It shows that as education increases, faith decreases across a populace. I can pull all sorts of studies off the bet for that one if needs be. (Currently awaiting a client in a coffee house so on my phone).
But anyway, in your post, you have agreed with my first point, a church delegation are no more important than anyone else.
I still don't see why anyone should show more tolerance to a group, just because it is popular though. In your warped logic, it probably makes sense, but I as repeatedly state, I don't accept anything just because it is popular.
So, your theory is that faith decreases as education increases? And to support this you state:
' Although 80% of Americans are religious against 18% of American scientists.'
It doesn't really explain how
80% of Americans (who are comparatively well educated)are religious, does it? As for 18% of Americans being scientists, assuming that's true, I don't see the relevance frankly which is why I rightly called it a non sequitur. You sound like someone who has just read a bluffers guide to rhetoric but failed to read one on logic. You clearly cannot discriminate between correlation and causation.
Good for you again banging on about how steadfast you are in your own beliefs regardless of how unpopular they might be. All irrelevant stuff. None of this is about popularity or unpopularity. It's about having decency in being able to tolerate your fellow man regardless of their views.
My point in showing tolerance to those who have beliefs you don't share is that it's a mark of decency and being civilised. Christian values of respect, compassion and tolerance. The fact that there are those who commit atrocities in the name of faith doesn't change the basic values taught by Christ. By all means condemn the sinner but not the lesson.
