How do you know what you know about Christianity?

I know that Islam needs better marketing to dominate.

“Islam Will Dominate the World: Freedom Can Go to Hell” and “Shariah the True Solution: Freedom Go To Hell”

Not a great marketing strategy.

Lovely.

clip-on-tie, are you asking me a question about Christianity? Or are you trying to hijack this clip of mine?

In answer to the question:
From my Muslim friends.
I am lucky to live in Watford and although I'm an atheist I have friends who are muslim, hindu, christian, jewish, buddhist, rastafarian, pastafarian and downright weird pagan loons

(They all think I'm crazy)
