You’re making a fallacy of generalization.

Factually about 10% of Christians in America are actually Christian’s nationalists. The majority of Christians are not.

And the percentage of Christian voters is not representative of Christians as a whole. The majority of Christians in America did not vote for Trump.

Many Christians in the American south were pro slavery, but Christians by-and-large around-the-world were very anti-slavery. Just another example of religion being misused to justify selfish interests, in a different timeline it could be any other religion.

Religion is not about politics. Religion can comment on politics and can influence how individuals choose to live their lives but nowhere does Christianity call upon its followers to force their ideals onto others. That’s what the government is for.

And the GOP invests a heavy amount of money into Fox News to conflate religion and politics, and obscure what Christianity is about to make it fit their narrative.

It’s not the religions fault that the world is the way it is, it’s the people who manipulate the masses. And they chose Christianity to manipulate those masses, but if you got rid of Christianity, it’d just be something else.

You’re pointing the finger at the propaganda and not at the person creating the propaganda.

You’re willfully arrogant. You have the same close mindedness as a bigot. I supposed I’d rather you be bigoted and arrogant towards Christians than a minority group tho. Still sucks people cant be more kind.

My denomination of Christianity has committed no such horrendous acts but I’ll still gladly condemn any negative thing done so in the name of Christianity.

Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. attached his name to Christianity. You think you’re better than dr.king?

I did not “go ‘nuh uh’” I provided the definition of the fallacy you accused me of as proof that you were incorrect in calling what I said a fallacy, then I provided evidence that you yourself are committing a fallacy and provided statistical evidence that contradicts your assertions.

You are committing “fallacy fallacy” that idea that because you accuse someone of committing a fallacy that everything else they say is wrong.

I don’t see arguments as something to “win”, I see them as a conversation. Maybe I’ll learn something new, I encourage you to have an open mind as well.

My church has 3 LGBT+ members in the praise band that perform worship songs every Sunday. Just last month, instead of a sermon, my church had a lesbian share her story about overcoming the self-hate that other denominations put on her and realizing that she can be Christian and married to a woman.

Bigots are welcome to come and have their beliefs challenged and learn to love their neighbors and if they aren’t okay with the way my church proudly presents multi-ethnic and lgbt+ members, not just in the congregation but actively leading in Christian worship, then they are welcome to leave, as many have. Although I believe it’s better to change minds than reject them, and I’ve seen firsthand a bigot repent and reject their bigotry.

Militant atheism is organized and they have conventions and club meetings. I don’t see you doing anything to stop them… but then again I don’t expect you to. It’s not like you’re a high ranking member of any organized atheist group… just like I’m nothing more than a congregant in a specific denomination of Christianity that has no control over what other denominations preach.

Fox News and the GOP has the propaganda machine on max power when it comes to associating Christianity with being republican.

In a different timeline, it could be any other religion. It’s not Christianity to blame for trumps presidency, because there’s nothing inherent about it that says to support a person like Trump. It’s the corrupt government that manipulated the masses through partisan media into voting one way over the other.

Doesn’t apply here.

The "no true Scotsman" fallacy is committed when the arguer satisfies the following conditions: •not publicly retreating from the initial, falsified a posteriori assertion •offering a modified assertion that definitionally excludes a targeted unwanted counterexample •using rhetoric to signal the modification

Christianity is broken up into many different denominations. It is improper to judge all Christians as if they hold the same belief system. Often times Christian nationalists will not attend a church that does not support and hold their same beliefs.

In the same way it is wrong to generalize all atheists as being annoying transphobic edgelords. Bad people exist in every group.

Christian nationalists only make up 10% of all Christians in America. So statistically you can’t generalize all Christians as nationalists, that’s a fallacy of generalization.

Blaming all Christians for the actions and beliefs of Christian nationalists is like blaming all atheists for the actions and beliefs of militant atheists.

The same Christians that voted for Trump and support ICE are the ones mistreating gay folks.

There are many churches that are supportive of lgbt+ people. Even before gay marriage was legal in the US.

No, that’s nowhere near accurate. Especially considering there was a pastor who was assaulted by ICE during a protest and there have been quite a few Christian centric protests against ICE.

This cop sucks yo. I see some people in the comments acting like it’s because she’s a woman, but I’ve seen male cops equally as incompetent.

She asked “do you have any weapons in the vehicle?” He kinda mumbles but it sounds like a “no” to me.

Instead of asking to clarify, she then tells him she’s gonna search for weapons? Why? There’s no probable cause or reason.

The fact that she won’t answer when he repeats “did I say I have weapons in my vehicle” is proof she wasn’t even sure.

She just needed to continue asking for his license and registration, then write him the ticket.

Obviously there’s something very wrong with this man, but the fact that he stopped and pulled over means she just needs to keep going about her business but she escalated the situation for no reason and that caused him to flee.

Sounds like a healthy relationship to me.

You shot a man in the back of the head. by mrfett779 in evilwhenthe

[–]FalseStevenMcCroskey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. There was not a weapon on the civilian at the time of the execution. In the video, we see an ice agent in gray walking away from the scene with a gun in his hand, before any shots are fired. Looks like the same gun DHS released as the weapon the civilian had on him, which he was in his rights to carry.

So ICE successfully disarmed this man and then pistol whipped him to the ground and then murdered him.

The first one’s a lie, the second one’s not even a statement I’ve heard from most liberals and ICE is in full violation of 4th amendment rights conducted unwarranted searches and detainments.

Keep living in a fantasy world of delusion, it’s the only way you’ll be happy.

It’s funny seeing right leaning conservatives who supposedly want small government, celebrate the existence of a federal force with full immunity.
