So are you one of these unrepsented different Christians that doesn’t believe in what I wrote?
Or are you just some guy that looks for opportunities to demonstrate the “True Scotsman” bit as much as he/she possibly can?
Because I outlined some pretty basic Christian stuff that transcends denominations. I never said “True Christians”, and I never implied you have to do any of the things listed in order to demonstrate “true Christianity”. I explained a thought pattern recognized by Christians almost universally. The reason I explained it like that was to offer insight into a pattern or thought-process those outside of faith may be unfamiliar with.
So: No True “True Scotsman” user would mess up the “True Scotsman” as much as you just did. Truly.
Believing in your magical sky daddy (for whom there is this much evidence, by the way: zero) really does appear to have frazzled your delicate little logic circuits. See here:
Christians believe God speaks in a “still, small voice” through the Holy Spirit.
This is a direct claim and there are many self-labelled christians who would be a bit bamboozled at the specificity of the "still, small voice". This: a very literal "no true scotsman" as you've made a claim about "Christians" which does not pertain to all who identify as such, by any stretch. I'm going to need that sentence again so let's refer to it as $SuperWellSpicySentence from here on in.
This “speaking” is more like a peace felt through meditation and prayer.
Another direct claim about an experiential and metaphysical thing which is just, I mean, come on my guy. Every single christian experiences this in this way? Insert $SuperWellSpicySentence here.
I’m good without carrying on a conversation if you are. I don’t and didn’t treat you with disrespect because of your beliefs or ideas. I explained a thought process from a different point of view to bring clarity and awareness.
You are disparaging my belief-system and belittling me. If you can’t have a conversation without resorting to that foolishness, it’s best that we don’t converse at all.
Your “True Scotsman” bit was misplaced. You don’t have to be aggressive because I pointed that out
You're the one who chose to believe in fairytales. A wee bit of belittling comes with the territory. I thought you were all supposed to rise above it, but I guess I must be thinking of traits of a different type of true christian. Blorp!
Charming behavior on here. Now it’s my problem you’re aggressive and pushy. Me speaking up was to bring insight to the subject matter. I wasn’t speaking up in order to have conversations with people who choose to willfully disrespect me.
You get to choose how you act in response to people with a system of beliefs you don’t agree with. It’s not my fault you’re so intolerant that you can’t help yourself.
