Ironically, the jews are the true minority.

25% in this case means the second largest religious group. Your math not mathing.

Being a minority is dependent on your location

Jews are a minority in most of the world, but not in Israel

Muslims are the majority in some countries and minorities in others

 

[Natalija]

If 25% is a minority, who are the majorities here?

Majority should mean more than half usually. So no religion has that.

 

[NAMELESS]

It is the second largest, but 25% of the planet population is still a minority, you just posted the definition of the word yourself.

The mistake that you are making is ranking in relation to the world population. The proper way to go about this is figure out the percentages of people that adhere to some religion. I already proved here that Islam is the second largest and therefore not a minority. The second largest religious group cannot be a minority. Going by your logic, all religions are minorities, cause there is no such religon that has 51% of the world population.

Good, you're starting to think

Yes, exactly. You can rank them by most popular, but none of them have the majority. And that is the beauty of language.

Yes, it is relative too. I said that in previous posts. Nat is thing 25%<50%, therefore minority, but that logic says all religions are minorities cause there is no religion that represents 51% of the world population. If everyone is a minority, nobody is a minority lol.

I suppose that he is technically right

I just don’t see why that matters

Are you trolling me? Stop reading this thread right now. Reading long ass C4N posts is overheating your brain.

It matter cause saying that Islam is a minority WORLD WIDE is a fallacy.

 

[Natalija]

It's not, you just said yourself that no religion has an actual majority. You can't switch a word's meaning just to make it fit an absence of a majority.

 

[NAMELESS]

I am not sure if you understand how words work.

1.8 billion people out of 8 billion people is a minority. Just because there is an even smaller number of Jews, doesn't mean 1.8 billion aren't a minority in comparison to 8.

That is the wrong math for this. We are ranking religions, the religions represented by the smaller % are the true minorities. Damn it, did you go to college? Is there a math bachelor in here?

I read your post and thought:"this mothafcuka became what he swore to fight". Then i read the post that said anesthesia and it all made sense. I thought you were doing weed or something.

Even if I was sniffing the heavens green it is still legal in my state. I would put an emote here but I can hardly see shit with all that small yellow

I think you meant the Devil's green, right?

You're ranking them by plurality, not majority.

I am telling you how math works

A majority is more than half of a total.[1] It is a subset of a set consisting of more than half of the set's elements. For example, if a group consists of 31 individuals, a majority would be 16 or more individuals, while having 15 or fewer individuals would not constitute a majority.

A majority is different from, but often confused with, a plurality,[note 1] which is a subset larger than any other subset but not necessarily more than half the set. For example, if there is a group with 20 members which is divided into subgroups with 9, 6, and 5 members, then the 9-member group would be the plurality, but would not be a majority (as they have less than eleven members).

Ok, are we going by dictionaries definitions or sociologies definition? We could both be right depeding on how we roll here, i was arguing based on the definition of woke people, despite posting a dictionary definition:

Sociology: In sociology, a minority group is a group of people who are treated unequally and discriminated against due to their physical or cultural characteristics. The term "minority" implies discrimination, and the term "subordinate group" is often used interchangeably with it. The group with the most power in a society is called the "dominant group".

Dictionary: Belonging to or constituting the smaller group or number.

Dictionary and math (which you said wasn't mathing, but 1.8 billion is factually a minority from 8 billion...).

Using minority like they do for discrimination or whatever, is silly.
