Comment on Jesus hates American "Christians"
snooggums@piefed.world 1 month agoWhat you are doing is saying they are not really Christians because they do or don't do X and that is exactly what the fallacy is.
Are priests who molest children not real Christians?

Again: “They are no true Atheists because they believe in God.”
No true scotsman or not?

Not.
An atheist who believes in god is like a vegan who regularly and knowingly eats bacon, they are using the wrong labels. Those both have narrow and clear definitions, unlike religion where there are a ton of things that vary between local practices and traditions that can be used to say that they aren't really X religion.

And a christian who doesn’t even follow (or doesn’t even know) the basic teachings of Christ is also using the wrong label.
