What do most Christians believe?

40. By "us"

I meant those of us who answered the thread and pretty much agreed with Heddi.

It was in response to the statement:

Certainly not the list that you gave. That's way too specific and literal for such a large and diverse group of people.

Indeed, it reads more like a cartoon caricature.

Though if you are talking about issues in general, then I misunderstood you. I thought you were talking about agreement on major religious tenants. In particular this statement:

Indeed, most Christians will be more closely aligned in their viewpoints with some Atheists than they are with some of their fellow Christians.

So I was trying to show that this view is mistaken as almost all of us (again, "us" as in those of us who posted) would disagree and argue against each and every point while the links I gave shows that, indeed, most Christians agree with those points. If you are talking about issues in general and not religious doctrines, then you are right. Some atheists might find some Christians who share views with them very closely.

Given how vague the term "some" is, what you are saying is pretty much true for every group that is not 100% homogenous...which to my knowledge is the case for every group of people imaginable. So you are right along those lines.

Sorry for misunderstanding what you were saying.

PS edit:

As for your discussion with Heddi, many forums (though not DU) have rules against posting in threads that have been inactive for a month or more. Its called thread necromany, and is generally frowned upon as those posters may no longer be around, or the information contained may be dated and inadvertently cause misinformation.

Again, DU has no such rule as far as I know.
