      Another argument for renaming the “No True Scotsman” fallacy to “No True Christian” to make it more self-explanatory.

        I know that the name of the fallacy comes from an example, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard a scotsman invoke “No True Scotsman”. I’ve heard countless Americans invoke it though, and one side does it far more than the other.

      “REAL CHRISTIANS”.

      They’re all real christians, just some ignore the hate speech, and pretend it’s not part of the religion while most don’t ignore it at all. Fuck your hate religion, and the hate that it spawns.

      The fascist people in charge of the deporting, the fascist militia, and the rest of the christians on the sidelines funding and supporting them - they’re ALL REAL CHRISTIANS.

      Stop following their hate religion. Nobody on the outside thinks you’re part of anything but a hate religion, even if you have good intentions. You’re surrounded by people with bad intentions, and nobody can tell you apart.

      • I’m an atheist. That doesn’t mean I can’t tell the difference between those who are claim to be christians and those who actually try. It’s probably 100:1 in favor of fake christians, if not more.

        Christians are supposed to follow the teachings of Christ. The old testament is just context. Jesus’s only extended story on what earns salvation or damnation is about the treatment of the poor, imprisoned, the sick, and foreigners.

          Jesus also said that he did not come to abolish the old law but to fulfill it, essentially saying that all the old testament or Torah shit still stands. People like to overlook this when it’s convenient.
