Mael is right- "nine out of ten" was a figure of speech. And despite the name of this thread, please note that my comment related to ALL religions- my own included- and not just Christianity.
Mael is also right about the nature of statistics, especially on sensitive subjects like religion. How accurate can they be and how honestly have they been applied?
My last post quoted Mark Twain, who was talking about the three different kinds of lie, and frankly, I think he was on to something.
