what has millennia of the "no true christian!!!" arguing accomplished?
if someone calls themself a "christian" then that's what they are, and they're using the same stone age book of tall tales to argue why they're the only true christians
fuck religion altogether, i say
I mean, not much, but rejecting the teachings of Jesus is still literally heresy. If we are to have a useful definition of the word "Christian," it kinda has to include believing in the word of Christ.
lol according to whom? "true" chrsitians? the ones who are the self-proclaimed "authority" on what that means, and what anything jesus supposedly said means?
nope. "christian" is literally anyone who calls themself christian
No, seriously, there's been a shift in the way the people use the word evangelical. I'll have to dig it up, but I saw a street interview recently where a reporter person is interrogating a man identifying as an evangelical who when prodded on the teachings of Jesus responded with "I don’t believe in all that Jesus stuff, I'm an atheist". Apparently a lot of people are identifying as evangelicals as a political identity, not as a religious identity. Evangelicals literally are no longer Christians anymore.
an evangelical what then?
Republican, in the end
TIL
i guess i shouldn't be surprised that right-wingers have yet again redefined the human capacity for being paralyzingly stupid
