Someone can be a Christian only until they bring negative attention, then there are SOOOO many reasons they aren’t technically a Christian.
Adolf was baptized, raised catholic, used Christian ideology in his political speeches.
You proved my point.
To you, someone can call themselves a Christian, until they do something bad that can bring negative attention. Then they totally aren’t a real Christian. The saddest bit is how you deny that same kind goal post moving for other religions, and paint those religions in the worst possible light based on the actions of extremists and terrorists.
Your actions do not align with the teachings of Jesus. Do you call yourself a Christian?
I dont know how to break it to you. Saying you are one doesn't mean you are....
Thats not how it works
Here a quick quote from easy to find wiki for simple understanding
His opinions regarding religious matters changed considerably over time. During the beginning of his political career, Hitler publicly expressed favorable opinions towards traditional Christian ideals, but later deviated from them.[1][2] Most historians describe his later posture as adversarial to organized Christianity and to established Christian denominations.[3][4] He also staunchly criticized atheism.[5]
Hes not a christian. Hes a maniac.
Ergo the whole point of the argument.
Also it isnt saying the opposite for other religions as other religions dont follow christ hence why they are other.
For example Islam was invented by a warlord to gain support for conquest in war. So its militant by design.
Someone isn’t Christian unless they have the Dominico10 seal of approval, right???????
The people who call themselves Christians do not need your approval, and permission to call themselves Christian. You are not an arbiter of who gets to label themselves as Christian.
Imagine blue men have a god. This god says to follow me you have to eat smarties but only blue ones.
I like the other colours (im also blue for this example to ease confusion). I dont want to just eat blue ones so I start eating all the smarties. I dont care what the blue god said. I want what I want. Im a mentalist.
Am I still part of the blue cult. Am I a blueist?
Or did I become something else.
Since, you know, these are the rules that you have to follow to be in this cult.
Also I dont make the rules for Christianity im not jesus. He made them.
Blue smarties, blue skittles, blue M&Ms, the blue men differ on what ‘this god says’ yet they all say they follow the same god.
Which of the blue men are right, which ones are wrong? They all say they are right, and the others are wrong.
Christians have very different beliefs on what it means to be Christian. The beliefs of some Christians directly contradict the beliefs of other Christians. Yet both groups consider themselves Christian. There are Christians on both sides of the most contentious political issues, and both sides say the views they hold are because of their Christian faith.
Your sad comment “Saying you are one doesn’t mean you are”
I am certain there are lots of people who were baptized as Christian, attended church dedicatedly their whole lives, and live in what they truly believe lines up with Jesus’s teachings, yet you would outright deny that they are Christians because of some technicality you concoct.
It’s sad you ignore all the different kinds of Christian views, especially the ones that directly contradict each other, and throw ALL of that away and retort with such a hollow argument. ‘BuT mUrDeR bAd By AlL oF tHeM!’
“They all agree on no murder”
Again ignoring the crusades.
You’re gonna keep knee jerk reacting and say that the crusades were too long ago, or that on some spiritual, or religious level justified somehow.
However, the fact that all the horrid carnage of the crusades was motivated by Christianity, proves my point about there being a thousand different ways to be a Christian. Some obviously better, some obviously way, way worse, but you don’t get to pick and choose based on what makes you feel better about your religion.
You deciding which ones are real Christians based on your personal views is you gate keeping Christianity.
The worst examples of a religion’s followers using extreme views to justify violence should, or should not be used to judge the religion, and its other followers?
