American media needs to start calling it like it is and pointing out how these groups are, in fact, anti-Christian. Not that that will ever happen. Just keep pretending they’re legitimate and see where that gets us.
Yet everyone who pushes for measures like this self-identifies as Christian, at least in public.
If Christianity’s good name needs to be untarnished, then liberal Christians need to do more. Rather than expecting the media to delineate between the two.
Eh, I don’t know how much playing the No True Scotsman really gets us, though.
I don’t want any religion of any kind having any say over what we do in a secular context. All of them, no matter what they are called, can go fuck themselves the minute they think they get special privileges over others.
This is not the no true Scotsman fallacy. This is people claiming a name while behaving in a way opposite, or at least unrelated, to what that name represents.
It would be like if I were to vocally claim to be a socialist while actively promoting capitalism in my actions and fighting against socialist causes.
These people would claim that they are the only TRUE xtians, and declare that other denominations are not “real” xtians (or just call them “pagan”, lol, which is xtian-speak for “RINO”).
John 3:16 says absolutely nothing regarding behavior. If you claim that someone in their heart doesn’t truly “believe” you are stepping into divine revelation which is solely reserved for god according to Christian doctrine.
Christian nationalism is not Christianity.

No true scotsman fallacy.

How convenient for them.
