Statistics like this are odd. How did the surveyors define "Christian?" Did they verify their conclusions by attending churches? Does the Congo have a census bureau or something that did anything like research into the religious views of the people? How…

Also hidden in here is the presumption that Christianity does nothing whatsoever to modify human behavior; he appears to believe that repentance and sanctification are impossible once you get below a certain IQ or belong to a race with a low IQ. This would effectively mean all stupid people are damned. I deny that quite stringently, even though I would say that race and racial differences are certainly real. There comes a point where some of our guys seem to be trying to limit God's ability to save and sanctify, because they think they're just too smart to think He could ever do that. Sad!
