For those who don’t find “far-right” to be an applicable descriptor with what is known currently, I acknowledge that the meme creator could have been more precise with their word choice. However, I feel the difference is academic:

We can replace “far right” with the easily verified “not leftist” without changing the meme whatsoever, primarily because the meme is about Nancy Mace and her mercurial, disingenuous opinion, not (directly) about the shooter.

Edit - I modified it, though I still find it to be a distinction without a difference - alt version for those who prefer (whoops missed one first time)

    There is an understanding if what “Christian” means. Your argument, if valid, would mean there is no definition for the majority of concepts.

    But I’ll tell you that you are correct if it makes you fell better.

    If you could find an actual denomination that didn’t accept the redemption of Jesus and accepted his religious message and called you would have a group of Jews from the first two centuries CE. They did not see themselves as a new faith separate of Judaism.

    There never was an example of No True Scotsman you just have a flawed understanding of Christianity and this logical flaw you improperly cited.

      So you just massively showed you have almost no actual knowledge of historical Christian sects.

      Plenty of non-trinitarians sects don’t believe Jesus died for our sins. Some don’t believe Jesus was real at all. Others believe that God and Jesus is the same thing while others believe Jesus was God taking mortal form.

      And plenty of them don’t agree that Jesus even died for our sins.

      Christadelphaisn, Jehovah witnesses, oneness Pentecostals, universalists, to just name a few example of how varied things can be.

      That’s not even getting into old old stuff back around like 300-400CE.

      If there is literally any defining aspect of Christianity is that it never agrees with any other aspect of Christianity. It’s one of the single most fractured religions in our history.

      Also your a God damn moron you ARE using a no true scottsman fallacy. Go read the god damn wiki page on the fallacy. Holy fuck man.
