There are currently one billion non-Catholic Christians alive today. Add in all the non-Catholic Christians who have died, and you would have a figure of multiple billions..."

You caught me making the same (tongue-in-cheek) rhetorical argument made by the YEC's, but instead of agreeing that anyone who doesn't agree with them isn't Christian I posed that anyone who isn't Catholic isn't really Christian. Its just the same shoe on the other foot. I notice that that isn't a very comfortable fit for non-Catholics either and solicited an equal and opposite reaction from you and a few others.

As an atheist, I don't have a dog in the "who's a real Christian" hunt. I simply thought you were making a math error.

Well, it's certainly not going to be interpreted as tongue in cheek after having been told by real Catholics in real life to my face the same thing.

Sorry, not buying your excuse today. Or any other day for that matter.
