No - nothing about the statistics of intermarriage between Muslims and Christians. Nothing at all. 
Is this the anecdotal vs scientific argument that we’re getting into?
What I’m saying is this: That a Muslim man and a Muslim woman will have a fair bit in common. The same applies to Christian couples. On that basis, Sceptic’s are more likely to have partners that are also sceptics. (All else being equal) I would argue this point all day long. That’s all.
Oh my God, I hate all this.

At this point I give up.

Why?
Am I saying something stupid? Offensive? Outrageous? Really, I’m genuinely asking? Maybe you think I’m stupid? Convince me by discussing things not running away! That pisses me off.
Oh my God, I hate all this.

Something that I think is good about me, is that I’ve nothing to prove, nothing to lose and I’d rather talk to someone who openly thinks I’m stupid than someone who hides their thoughts - it doesn’t bother me. So. Where do you think I’m being stupid? 
Oh my God, I hate all this.
If we’re being honest, I think you’re fixating on a point that was invented by yourself.
I only mentioned the possibility that Wiseman and Watt were or had been together because it was something that I’d expected to find, but for some reason couldn’t. Caroline Watt is a stand alone person who’s views on Parapsychological matters I both disagree with and dislike.
Oh my God, I hate all this.
