Do you realize that there are indigenous christians of all denominations in the ME or there's some kind of dominance hierarchy among denominations and churches of the world that I am not aware of?
- hodwik2 10y agoOf course. It's something like 3% of Syrian refuges, for example. No population is uniform. But if we were talking casually about, say, Hong Kong, and I said the Hong Kong-ese speak Cantonese, would you complain because some percentage do not? Or if I said Spanish people speak Spanish? It's not a useful distinction to draw unless you provide it in the context of some larger argument.
