So much for “Thou shalt not steal.”
But then, the most ardent believers do the most cherry picking with The Bible.
Even if they followed JESUS himself, they'd love God and then treat everyone else the way they would want to be treated.
Fake Christians, imho
(I'm an atheist)
There's no hate quite like Christian love.
As an imperfect, trying-my-best Christian, thank you for sticking up for us, outnumbered and doing our best in this dark world whilst getting false-flagged by hate-cults since the beginning.
It's safe to say we genuinely love you for it. <3
Take good care. :)
I recognize that you are out there (hot take, I know)
Nah, these are real Christians. Don't make their fallacious arguments for them.
I know a (very) few who walk the walk.
This are the only ones I would give the benefit of the doubt to
Right. Exactly. When the majority of the people of a religion behave a certain way, that's common trait of the religion. "Not walking the walk" is about as Christian as it gets.
American Evangelicals are not the majority of Christians, even though American exceptionalism makes them view themselves as such
Nope definitely fake. Take your anti-theisitic edgelord nonsense back to r/atheism if you wanna paint people with a broad brush
They need to change the name of the "no true Scotsman" fallacy to "no true Christian" as it makes a lot more sense these days...
You do realize that extremists are louder than the majority of the group right?
I was raised in the group, I am intimately aware of what they believe.
Reading the bible, at least the old testament, it's pretty obvious that the commandments generally apply only towards your fellow kin (that is, another devout person of the religion). Everybody else is usually fair game (for example, during war with an outside tribe you could [should] do whatever - murder, rape, kidnap, steal, etc.)
