    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

      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.

      If someone tells everyone he knows he is a man, he is a man even if he doesn’t seem like a man sometimes. Same with Christians. It is really annoying when they don’t seem to follow many Christian teachings but they are still Christian. IMO anyway.
