My comment was moved to the outer darkness, as a derailment.
This, to there: viewtopic.php?p=644414#p644414
If any of You read it (and try to understand...), You would perceive it as totally on topic.
Should I explain?
OK...
The whining about "Fastest Growing Church" has the same effect as producing a roar sound when one step on the throttle - and listen the roaring without any change of speed.
According to one Hungarian saying :
Nagyobb a füstje, mint a lángja.
Its smoke is bigger than the flame.
('It is not so serious.')
Did You - who has moved my comment (by the way unnamed) - hear anything about Proverbs?

The next step of Ford developers will be a blowing in the driver's face - every time he (the male one!!!) give the gas.
And the 260 million member of the church in 2050.
Warning! This is not offtopic, this is a metaphor...(like this so called derailment)
A metaphor is a literary figure of speech that describes a subject by asserting that it is, on some point of comparison, the same as another otherwise unrelated object. Metaphor is a type of analogy and is closely related to other rhetorical figures of speech that achieve their effects via association, comparison or resemblance including allegory, hyperbole, and simile

This new M5 is equipped with something called Active Sound, a system whereby the engine note is reproduced faithfully through the luxury sedan's fancy-pants Hi-Fi audio system.

I would say yes, particularly among the growing middle classes, although the trend isn't nearly as pronounced as Europe or the United States.
Also there is still a tremendous stigma against being called, or calling oneself, an atheist. The result is millions of people who are functionally agnostic or atheist without really considering themselves as such.
