I don't understand why people are even buying this. It's horseshit.

What do you mean?

A Christian gene? Is there an Islam gene as well? Those two parents who thought they had gone wrong somewhere because their kid is a Christian. How is it inherent, then, if the parents don't have it? Religion is a choice, not genetic.

I'm pretty sure the Christian gene is recessive. Both parents must have had a single recessive allele.

Hmm... Could you possibly link up some of that research? I'm curious.

GIve me a sec...I'll have to find some papers.

Seriously, take a course in genetics. It'll make more sense then.

It's definitely real. What bullshit are you referring to?

There's been well documented peer-reviewed research on this.
