Christianity in Africa helped to reduce the wars and feed the starving children, increasing the average lifespan by 20%.

Is this true, or did you just make it up to parallel similar Christian passages about e.g. condoms and stem cell research?

I made it up, just like the efficiency of horoscopes, prayer and homeopathics. More precisely, the information about increasing lifespan in Africa by 20% is true, I just made up the attribution to Christianity. However, any Christian apologist is allowed to steal this example and pretend it's true. Or you could imagine a less convenient universe where it's true.

Is this true

You missed the sarcasm tags.

Granted, being invisible, they're a bit hard to see.
