How Much of the Bible Have Churchgoers Read?

[zipplewrath]

3. Not for "church goers"

You took a survey of the entire population and made allusions to a population that might be about 20% of the population at best. And of the 20%, as I explained, it would be unusual for them to have actually read the entire book. Ask how many physicists have read all of Newton's original works. How many biologists have read Darwin's original writings. Furthermore, that'd at least be a population for which one might reasonably expect that they had. Asking the entire population of the US would be pointless. You might as well ask how many people know the rules of golf and then make an allusion to what golfers know about the rules.

You've done this before too. You took quotes way out of context about belief, and made allusions to "faith". You seem to have a desire to denigrate the faith of people. I don't know if it is politically based, which would make sense in this forum, or if this is more personal. But per the rules and intent of this forum, you might wanna be more strict in your references. You are taking other peoples work way out of their intended context. Furthermore, you have repeatedly demonstrated a rather introductory level of understanding of the great theological arguments of history. Augustine, despite his personal failings went well into depth on the many questions you raise. You might wanna read his works, and potentially others who followed him (not always complimentary) with their observations and understandings. Otherwise, your posts are highly confusing to anyone who has conducted even the most elementary level of study of the subject.
