Claim:
"Just because people that commit crime and get divorced say that they are Christian doesn't mean that they are TRUE Christians, and we have reason to suspect that they couldn't be, because Christianity makes people good. What a beautiful argument - circles are my favorite shape."
I answer:
As you must know, making statistical inquiries into human morality is no easy matter, but the researchers have made a great effort to avoid such fallacies in studying the impact of Christianity on people's lives. But the point that religiosity can be measured in many ways and is not easy is certainly worth keeping in mind. And I do hope that if we are to make references to scientific studies here, we will be able make use of the best possible of them. And I do hope that we can avoid circular arguments.
