I'll be honest with you, Dave -- my brain is short-circuiting trying to follow your logic here. But I'll do my best.

>WTF are you talking about? China has grown its population by proselytization.

I was talking about Christianity and Islam, not China.

>I'm asking why, if you started the civilizations at about the same time, they haven't grown to roughly the same number of people. That should have happened. Maybe there should only be a billion Jews. Or even a half billion. But 15 Million?

No, that shouldn't have happened. The Chinese are the descendants of all of the people that lived in a gigantic land atea over the last 100,000 years or so. The Jews are the descendants of a group of a few hundred thousand people from about 3,000 years ago, and many were converted away from being Jews over the last 2,500.

>I raise this question because it was raised by Netanyahu at a meeting in which the foreign leaders of China and India were present. These leaders immediately reacted with shock--their mouths flying open -- when this disparity was pointed out to them, so the issue was not lost on these individuals.

It's horrible, nonsensical logic.
