Not all the negative numbers, many are obviously from people who do post. But any time the number goes higher than 10 (sometimes for good reason) I suspect there are secret voters weighing in.
I've seen negative votes go up to as high as 20.

Anyway, weren't you talking about textural corruption of the Bible? You're kind of jumping to another argument.
You are wrong about hindu's, btw. The indian rural people will say there are hundreds of gods but their religious scholars say those are just different facets of the one god.
Sonship, have you ever wondered what you would think and believe if you were born some other time or place, raised in a different culture, taught different tenets. Until you have tried to do so, your opinion cannot be trusted.

The diversity card on Christians cannot be played ad infinitum.
There are many cities and towns on this earth that if I were lost there I could contact Christians and receive help.
I could make a call in Taiwan.
I could make a call in Russia.
I could make a call in Israel.
I could make a call even in Iran.
I could make a call in Mexico, Guatemala, Spain, Ethiopia, Greece, even Mainland China, and all regions of the United States, England, Germany, Switzerland, Philippines, South Africa, Ghana, Nigeria, Togo, Tanzania, Cuba, Santa Domingo, many places.
I could call and say or have my English translated into the local language to say -
" I am a Christian brother by the name of sonship. I love the Lord Jesus and am in your area. I received Jesus Christ many years ago now. Greetings to you in His name. Could I have some fellowship with you? I am from a certain city in the United States."
I have much confidence that across the globe and in many different cultures I could be welcomed by fellow believers in Christ as a brother in the Lord.
Don't attempt to over play the cultural diversity card on Christians. There is hardly a more universal message of brotherhood, love, and spiritual unity and even practical unity. The Gospel of Christ encompasses all tribes, people, tongues, and nations.

Your profoundly superstitious nature and your cultural setting here would most likely have drawn you to it.
It's also possible you'd have been a Hindu or a Christian. But if you look at the anthropology of religion, the chances are you'd have been a sanctimonious Islamic preacher with a microphone, perhaps - who knows - drenching the same neighbourhood of this city that I live in with your religious skirl.

Indonesia's 24 million Christians constitute 10% of the country's population,
from Wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity_in_Indonesia
The Teaching of Jesus has gone there too.

Originally posted by @sonshipYou've missed the point entirely. Yes there are Christians here just as there are Muslims in Israel. You'd still probably have been a Muslim if you had been raised in this culture and geographical location.
