more muslims but bible most sold book

[mollykins]

if there are lots more muslims in the world, how come the bible is the most bought book?

[redman41]

The Bible is also the most stolen Book in the World, allegedly !

[ummmm]

Because the bible is put in hotel rooms...

50% of the worlds population are women

I don't notice them dominating

[ummmm]

Oi....shut up Jake and do as you're told.

(joking)

[mollykins]

less than 50% are women because more boy babies are born. I don't know if its jsut coincidence but men tend to have more dangerous jobs so are more likely to die young, can genes make more baby boys like that or not?

There are 2.1 billion Christians in the world; 1.5 billion Muslims; 900 million Hindus; 376 million Buddhists; 23 million Sikhs; 14 million Jews and many millions who are of other religions or atheist.
That is why more Bibles are sold.

[mollykins]

But there are more kinds of christians with different views than there are different kinds of muslims, that why cofe and catholics are normally counted as two religions - because of their different views.

Its actually a Jewish book with a few chapters knocked on at the end.

[mollykins]

A rather blunt but true way of putting it david?

So how can muslims say they'll conquer the world when there isnt that many of them, i thought that they'd be at least the largest religion in the world to have the guts to say it.

anyway the number of christians, does that count as christenings or confirmations? i was christened but am an aeithiest who believes in the theory of evolution. would i count as christian as i was christened or not because i haven't been confirmed?

[mollykins]

On all my documents to do with things like school etc, it has me down as christian . . .

Hi Molly

Tahat blunt comment was made by a Jewish friend of mine who was happy to point out Jews, Christians and Moslems are all very similar faithwise and nobody hold any moral high ground.

He is actually a Rabbi and reckons there are no shortage of Jewish, Christian or Moslem rascals! And plenty of good people of all faiths too.
