You are arguing dishonestly. What you actually SAID was:
I only know of one religion whose followers behave like that.
I think I know a lot of the followers of said religion who
wouldn't do it either, but there's an overwhelmingly large
number of them that do.
That means a very large majority of that religion. Now that you have
agreed with my explanation of what you MEANT, I agree that what you
MEANT was not absurd. But what you SAID, WAS absurd. That was why I
suggested you reconsider it. You have to assume that people will
read what you say and think you mean it.
I *never* said a "majority," let alone "a very large majority" of that
religion.
If you assumed that, you weren't reading what I actually said.
Anyway, I don't see any point in continuing a discussion with a person
who claims I said something I know I didn't say, and then says I am
arguing dishonestly. Good night.
