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
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.

i guess i shouldn’t be surprised that right-wingers have yet again redefined the human capacity for being paralyzingly stupid
