    That’s a pretty broad brushing of a diverse religious group.

    That’s a ridiculous assertion. I’m sure the follow up sentence ought completely clear up what you must mean here

    It sounds like you’re clumping in Catholics with everyone else.

    What in the world???

    Are you really taking my very obvious example of a person no one would argue is not Christian, to imply that every Christian must somehow be Catholic?

    I cant even begin to see how you misinterpreted my comment in that way.

    You just lumped them all together with your grievances with the Catholic Church. It gives intolerance, kind of hypocritical.

    I did no such thing, and I refuse to believe that you think I did, given that this example couldn’t be any clearer.

    Its especially ridiculous given my example is used as a means to establish that the definition of Christian is indeed far wider not narrower than the poster I responded to.

    This is precisely the opposite of your claim of me narrowing the definition of Christianity with that example. It’s uttterly backwards.

      My mans you’re like 30 paragraphs into arguing that Mike Johnson is a Christian and that he should not be narrowed out of that category. You then listed a bunch of grievances that categorized a lot of good critiques on Catholic Church. As a Catholic we’ve always been extremely strict on who gets called that title: there’s a bunch of boxes to check. As far as Christian’s go, that’s anyone with faith in the Bible. People who believe, study, and embody the words of Jesus. That can’t be Mike Johnson.

      It’s very fair for someone who was raised in many Christian churches to decide the virtue of another Christian. There are plenty of good Christian churches out there that produce good Christian’s. Mike Johnson has never been near one of them.

      Thanks for coming to my ted talk. I will not be reviewing your arguments as I found them impotent angry and biased.

        BS No true scottsman business. This is exactly what the pope example was. You think a person who helps an organization propagate heinous crimes falls under that definition?

        Your definition is arbitrary, based on interpretation.

        It’s very fair for someone who was raised in many Christian churches to decide the virtue of another Christian.

        So then Its fair for me too right? Suddenly crickets.

        Thanks for coming to my ted talk. I will not be reviewing your arguments

        Seems like that Christian spirit I’ve heard so much about.
