Even if they followed JESUS himself, they'd love God and then treat everyone else the way they would want to be treated.
Fake Christians, imho
(I'm an atheist)
There's no hate quite like Christian love.
As an imperfect, trying-my-best Christian, thank you for sticking up for us, outnumbered and doing our best in this dark world whilst getting false-flagged by hate-cults since the beginning.
It's safe to say we genuinely love you for it. <3
Take good care. :)
I recognize that you are out there (hot take, I know)
Nah, these are real Christians. Don't make their fallacious arguments for them.
I know a (very) few who walk the walk.
This are the only ones I would give the benefit of the doubt to
Right. Exactly. When the majority of the people of a religion behave a certain way, that's common trait of the religion. "Not walking the walk" is about as Christian as it gets.
American Evangelicals are not the majority of Christians, even though American exceptionalism makes them view themselves as such
Nope definitely fake. Take your anti-theisitic edgelord nonsense back to r/atheism if you wanna paint people with a broad brush
They need to change the name of the "no true Scotsman" fallacy to "no true Christian" as it makes a lot more sense these days...
You do realize that extremists are louder than the majority of the group right?
I was raised in the group, I am intimately aware of what they believe.
Again. I don't care that you had a wacko creationist church when you were a kid. That's not what most Christians believe

Your religion condones slavery.
Jesus condoned slavery.
Lol bigotry. Ok.
Jesus DID NOT say that. He said the exact opposite of that.

Sounds like that includes slavery (as long as you don't beat them to death!).
And all Jesus had to do was say, "hey guys, maybe don't do that" once. And yet...
Okay Edgelord, look It doesn't really matter because there's no denomination of Christianity today that condones slavery.
Edit: By Fulfilling the law, Jesus means that his sacrifice of himself has paid the debt mankind owed to the levitical law, so in a sense is was abolished. Basically, you don't need to pay the price of breaking levitical laws anymore, because Jesus already did that
I love that saying anything anti-Christianity makes someone an "edgelord". Because apparently believing in magic is the default I guess.
Wow I really feel bad about being called an edgelord.
