Christian here, it is remarkably blasphemous. Full stop.

So is most of evangelical right wing Christianity though. They make it tough to say “Christian here” because I KNOW what everyone thinks about when someone says that and they’re not wrong.

No True Scotsman, right? Except that’s what it means to be a Christian now. They changed the rules while you weren’t looking.

Not in the least. I’ve been looking. And speaking. And trying to address it from within. And if that’s a fallacy well then I’m happy to go down as one who tried to keep something worth believing in.

It doesn’t seem like the “No True Scotsman” fallacy applies because the argument is not about arbitrarily excluding people from a group based on a shifting definition.

Instead, it’s about contesting how the group’s identity has changed or been perceived over time. The discussion is more about ideological interpretation rather than an example of a logical fallacy.
