    No True Scotsman fallacy.

    Christians wish death upon gay men all the time.

    I will reiterate that homophobia kills, and christians are indefensibly homophobic, as a fact.

    There’s a lot that’s against christian doctrines. The vast majority don’t care to follow most/all of them.

      Except if you look at all of Christian history and all of Christian doctrine you would understand that it’s not the No True Scotsman fallacy. It’s literally against all of what Jesus taught. He went so far as to teach that hating someone is equivalent to killing them. Just because some people choose to claim Christianity and do non-Christian things does not negate the core of Christianity.

        It doesn’t matter what Christianity teaches because Christians act against Christianity all the time— this is reflected in their prejudices that are specific amongst them.

        It’s not “some”, homophobia is the default amongst Christianity.

        It’s wildly fallacious to suggest the majority of christians *don’t * hate gay men.

          Again, almost no Christians hate other people. Jew, Muslim, Gay, Queer, etc there is no hate. Not approving of the lgbt lifestyle is not hate.

            Attacking them is, though. Putting them in camps to “fix” them is, though. Chemically castrating them is, though. Passing legislation to make it a crime is, though.

            Yeah, you say that when so many lgbt children lose their lives when their parents don’t accept them.

            Christianity kills lgbt people.

        Then let’s look at modern Christianity. Let’s look at what they are doing right now, because that’s where we all are, that’s what’s relevant and that is their truth.

        This is like when conservatives try the old “LiNCoLn WuZ A rePuBLiCaN!” That’s completely fucking irrelevant to modern times, nomenclature, culture, and politics, and that includes religion, none of them are the same thing they were 2000 years ago and it’s absurdly stupid to imply that they are. Look at them for what they are.

          Sure, let’s look at modern times. Not being anti- gay marriage rights, not being anti-adult trans rights, supporting women in the workplace, supporting other religions rights, etc. I’d say that except for not actively supporting transing kids, Christians are the most supportive group in the U.S.

            You really don’t pay attention to politics do you? There is this guy, Pete Hegseth, maybe look into the things he’s been saying lately. He runs our military. He’s actively trying to instigate Armageddon. That’s not an interpretation, that’s what he’s actively advocating for. That’s why we are tag teaming with Israel against Palestine. You christians are actively trying to being about the end of days for your stupid faith.
