  • Why do Christians use studies that have nothing to do with the topic?

    Why do people continue to use studies to support their conclusions when the original study had nothing to do with the topic??

    The "Dutch Gay Marriage Study" is used over and over by religious people to show the errors of homosexuality, but really has nothing to do with anything these "religious people" are trying to prove. For one, the study surveyed gay men who were actively seeking treatment at an AIDS/HIV clinic, but "religious people" continue to extrapulate the study results to mean EVERY gay man. Is that fair? That's like taking a survey of brothel workers and saying they represent the entire heterosexual female population. Why would you continue to cite a study like this when your conclusions can be so easily disproved by what that study actually says? Do they think people are too stupid to analyze data for themselves??
