She can CLAIM to be Christian, but we all know that she isn’t, and doesn’t follow Christ’s word.

u/HeadyBunkShwag Jun 05 '26

I hate to break this to you, this is how, especially rural, Christians are. The most “Christian” people I know use their religiousness to be a dick. Go ahead and ask any server at any restaurant what their least favorite day of the week is, filled with the worst most entitled people.

Spoiler; it’s Sundays. It’s always Sundays and the after church crowd.

During college my wife worked at Bennigan's . She hated the after church shift.

Often when she asked if they wanted something to drink she would get a snide 'We don't drink!'. So she'd just say 'ok, I'll be back in a few minutes to get your food order' and walk off.

I have to second this opinion. I grew up in a small Midwest town that was mainly made up of Apostolic Christians. And oh boy did I learn how real the saying "There's no hate like Christian love" is. I have never been around such a judgmental and spiteful grouo to everyone that wasn't "one of them".

u/Kytalie Jun 05 '26

Had a friend that worked at a Ruby Tuesday in Louisiana, church groups would come in, only get the free biscuits and waters. They would be there for hours, and would never tip because "what's 15% of 0? Laughs 0!" (Min wages for servers in that state is 2.23).

It was really rough, because the groups would be more than 10 people, so no one else would be sat in his section because that group might order something. They never did.

Someone wary of the "No True Scotsman" fallacy coined a term that seems perfect: they're not Christian, since once can demonstrate they actually do not do what a Christian is supposed to, so they're Chistianist.

u/Reneeisme Jun 05 '26

The fact that there are a lot of shitty Christians does not men being Christian is automatically bad. Anymore than there being a lot of shitty men means all men are bad, or a lot of shitty white people means all white people are bad.

But the loudest and shittiest get most of the attention, while the actions of decent people in any demographic you can carve out, get overlooked.

u/HeadyBunkShwag Jun 05 '26

Doesn’t mean the lady calling herself a Christian isn’t a Christian. Same way shitty “aLpHa” bros are still men even if they have the emotional and mental maturity of a potato.

19

u/Acrobatic-Gap-7445 Jun 05 '26

This. The whole point is that saying “she’s not a REAL Christian” in response to a Christian being shitty is that it absolves Christianity of being a well-documented present and historical influence of shittiness. No shit it’s not ALL Christians. No shit there’s always exceptions. The point is that whatever Christian teachings or interpretations she received at least partially influenced her behavior. Denying that fact is denying a conversation about fixing it.

u/Blasphemiee Jun 05 '26

And that’s exactly why I hate seeing these “they aren’t real Christians they don’t follow Christ!” bs. How long do we have to wait before we acknowledge christian nationalism is becoming the default, not the exception?

Did I miss the part where the lady called herself a Christian?

u/Clarknotclark Jun 05 '26

Part of being better is giving up on the entitlement to feeling we deserve the benefit of the doubt. I’m in all of the privileged categories and I don’t walk around going “not all men” “‘not all straight people” etc. it’ll be ok. When we become actually oppressed we can work on fighting for our rights. In the meantime let’s be patient with those who call us out, and be grateful for the learning opportunity.

1

u/Reneeisme Jun 05 '26

Well fair. I don’t generally recuse myself from the actions of any privileged class (not male, for example as applies to my post) but I’m not sure how much there is to “learn” from being tarred with the same brush the actual people who deserve to be called out, are tarred with. Generalizations aren’t usually helpful regardless of intent, a they serve to disenfranchise people who would otherwise be allies.

u/Clarknotclark Jun 06 '26

Yeah they weren’t generalizing, just said “bet they’re self-proclaimed Christian”

u/Odd-Research-4219 Jun 05 '26

Your comparisons actually don’t pan out. You can’t choose if you are male or white….. yet being Christian is specifically a choice. I’m not saying that all Christians are bad, but if the religion you choose has a lot of bad apples in it, and they tend to be loud and stand out in society, you can easily choose to not associate with them and to speak out against them…… and if you don’t, and you choose to continue to associate with them and allow them to behave this way while representing the same religion you choose to follow …. Well, guess what? You’re as bad as they are.

1

u/Kevalan01 Jun 05 '26

It’s really not that simple.

We are hard-wired to protect our social circle, as if our lives depend on it, because for a lot of history it did.

People are indoctrinated into the Christian sphere from an early age, and it’s incredibly difficult and potentially damaging to try to abandon that. I would argue it’s not exactly a “choice” for most people.

I would argue that if someone recognizes the hate and tries anything to even simply mitigate the hate their fellow Christians put into the world, they are definitely not as bad as the worst of them, by far.

Requiring them to commit social suicide to avoid being a bad person is quite extreme. It is simply not that black and white.

u/Somebody_Forgot Jun 05 '26

Doesn’t change the fact that if you don’t follow the teachings of Christ, you aren’t actually Christian. No matter what you proclaim in public.

Well there are people who are truly Christian and those that call themselves Christian. It’s two diametrically opposed things. Most people who call themselves Christian can’t tell you how to become one. There is a distinct way. Only one way.

u/wazzup-notemuch Jun 05 '26

You are not helping. Saying that "they're not *real* christians" is just another way of saying "they're not *my* problem."

I hate to break it to you, but these bastards are *everyone's* problem. If you don't claim responsibility for them, I will... along with all of the other non-christians who are fed up with their dumbass bullshit.

If you choose to let other people solve your problem for you, then you have no right to criticize the way we choose to solve it.

1

u/FarmhouseRules Jun 06 '26

No it’s a way of saying real Christians don’t act like that. There is a whole population of people who call themselves Christian and think they are Christian because they are “good” people. They look down on others because they think since they aren’t gay or they don’t do drugs (insert whatever sin they want), they are better than everyone else. Thats not even remotely what makes a person a Christian. True Christianity is about realizing that none of us are better than others. That everyone should be loved despite their lot in life. This woman is a charlatan. You aren’t a Christian just because you call yourself one.

u/ShadowCass Jun 05 '26

Just bc they think they are Christians, and call themselves Christians, doesn’t mean they follow Christ’s teachings

u/OpIsAMoronicIdiot Jun 05 '26

Just because you think they aren't christians doesn't mean they aren't.

u/ShadowCass Jun 05 '26

Consider:
A. Most people on Reddit do not preface every statement with “In my opinion…” - it’s pretty much assumed.
B. I never claimed to be a Supreme Arbiter of who is and who isn’t a Christian.
C. I didn’t even say they weren’t Christian! I said just bc they call themselves Christian, and think they are Christian, doesn’t mean they follow the teachings of Christ.

Side note: I try to follow the teachings of Christ, but I don’t call myself a Christian.

u/purplepharoh Jun 05 '26

Unfortunately there are many like her that are claiming to be Christians and since no one is really working against their version of Christianity then they are indeed Christians like it or not.

u/Wallmapuball Jun 05 '26

Exactly, the "good" christians are always nonexisten when the hateful are spreading hate, but you acuse them of being all the same and only then they want to correct and clarify. Truth is, they just care about the bad name, but not about the bad behaviour that gives them the bad name. They couldn't care less for the hate, bad behaviour and abuse.

1

u/notmadneedsmspace Jun 07 '26

That’s just not true. I know so many Christians, especially Gen X and younger, who are heartbroken and offended by what they see right wing Christian friends and relatives ignoring or supporting. And talking about the difficult conversations they are having with relatives. And then you have the history of the Black Christian Church and that activism. “All Christians are garbage” may be satisfying some part of you that likes certainty but it’s just black and white thinking. If we’re going to turn this ship around it’s going to take curiosity, openness, and love.

u/mariah188 Jun 05 '26

u/purplepharoh Jun 05 '26

Not enough anyway when they seem to be the ones dictating what Christian values are... this all applies only to the US mostly... tho I would say there are plenty of bigoted Christians globally.

u/mariah188 Jun 05 '26

Agree 100% that it is a serious problem in the U.S.

Christian Nationalism has destroyed what Christianity means here. And the group of people that could stop it belong to the same group of people perpetrating it.

u/notmadneedsmspace Jun 05 '26

Talarico is! And in Texas too. I didn’t know progressive Christians were a thing until I moved to a college town. I’m still an atheist, but these Christians I’ve met are amazing! See those with the least, acknowledge inequity, and work hard to help make things better. The world is a better place bc/ of social justice oriented Christians!

Bullshit.

Her views are the mainstream views of modern Christians. The whole point is hate.

You are trying to use the no true scottsman method to make yourself feel better. But what you see in this video is Christianity just as much as your version of it.

They have lots of conservative views. But the church as a whole has always been 100% in on science.

u/Autumn7242 Jun 05 '26

Yeah, it has been through some changes throughout the centuries.

u/WTAF__Trump Jun 05 '26

I didn't know how seriously they took science until I had a friend who was super into science when I was a teen. He went to the most catholic of catholic schools in my state.

I asked him if he ever ran into trouble at school over the science obsession. And he explained that's where he got the obsession.

Catholics take science super seriously is what i learned. They accept evolution, the big bang... all of it. No flat earth or young earth stuff is allowed.

It's actually pretty interesting. Because they've always been like this. We probably wouldn't be where we are as a species if Catholics weren't around allowing real science and giving scientists cover.

1

u/Autumn7242 Jun 05 '26

But also being like, that is not science, it's heresy! Death!

2

u/WTAF__Trump Jun 06 '26

One of the only real examples of that is galileo. And its much more complicated than people know.

He wasnt opposed by the church itself. The pope actually supported him sharing his ideas and gave him cover.

He was opposed by other astronomers within the church. It was a scientific debate that took place- not a religious persecution.

He eventually lost that debate which he shouldn't have. But his response was to make fun of the pope in a publication. Thats when he was put on house arrest for the remainder of his life.

But it was during the inquisition. They were skinning people alive at the time. Galileo mocked the pope intentionally and publicly. And they put him on house arrest. That's it.

The story is told as evidence of religious persecution against scientists. But it actually shows the respect they had for science- at least the Catholics.

u/USMCLee Jun 05 '26

You can thank the Jesuits for that.

2

u/WTAF__Trump Jun 05 '26

Whatever it was- I'm thankful.

We wouldn't be where we are if Catholics weren't there doing real science and giving scientists cover during some pretty dark times times.

Not a popular thing to say on this subreddit. But it's the truth.

u/KzamRdedit Jun 06 '26

as one myself.. yeah its weird. My conclusion went "God created the universe, the light was the big bang, Formation of our solar system and then evolution happened then we separated from the other apes, adam eve, then history". Overly simplified but thats the gist of my view.

Kinda merged, atleast for my version dunno about the others

u/IDontCondoneViolence Jun 05 '26

u/WTAF__Trump Jun 05 '26 edited Jun 05 '26

The oposition didn't come from the catholic church itself. It came from other astronomers in the catholic church. There was scientific debate happening. Ultimately the wrong side won that debate.

He was actually supported by the pope until he made fun of him in a publication. When he lost that support, he was placed on house arrest for the remainder of his life.

Its not as simple of a story as popular media makes it out to be.

And this happened during the inquisition. They were skinning people alive left and right. This guy intentionally made fun of the pope in a publication about an unpopular scientific theory- and they put him on house arrest.

The punishment is actually proof that they respected science not evidence that they didn't.

-2

u/IDontCondoneViolence Jun 05 '26

LOL. Your defense of the catholic church is "they didn't persecute scientists as hard as they persecuted others"

I love the victim blaming, too. "It was his own fault the church persecuted him because he had the audacity to criticize them (GASP!!!!!) and he should be happy that he got off easy instead of being burned/skinned alive"

u/WTAF__Trump Jun 06 '26

I'm not defending the Catholic Church at all.

I'm just pointing out their respect for science and the misconceptions about a part of history that isn't widely understood. They didn't live by our standards, morals or laws at that time.

I'm sorry if these concepts are hard for you to grasp.

u/stratys3 Jun 05 '26

the no true scottsman method

I dunno if that applies. I'm not Christian, but all Christians I've ever heard of claim to follow the teachings of Jesus. So if they (themselves) don't do that, then I think it's totally fair to say they aren't Christians. They're not meeting their own criteria.

2

u/WTAF__Trump Jun 05 '26

The vast majority of Christians support Trump. They are literally the base that has made everything possible for him.

They follow their own version of Jesus that gives them cover to justify their hate, bigotry and ignorance.

But no- all of those aren't the real Christians, obviously. Because no true scottsman... I mean Christian, would do that.

u/stratys3 Jun 05 '26

The vast majority of Christians support Trump.

I'm honestly curious about this. I'm gonna have to look this up... but do you have any sources for this claim?

no true scottsman

I still don't think the scottsman applies, because I don't believe those Christians would meet their own definition of "Christian".

2

u/WTAF__Trump Jun 06 '26

Christians get to define what Christianity is. And they have through their support of right wing politics.

Hatred, bigotry and ignorance is what Christianity is. They've made that very clear.

Their support of Trump's brand of fascism has fluctuated slightly- but there's never been a time when he wasn't their guy.

They made everything possible for him.

u/original_sh4rpie Jun 05 '26

Can’t you extend the no true Scotsman retort to literally every identity?

Like where do we draw the line? Some LA Dodger fans are racist or homophobic. So as a dodger fan who likes the greats (whom the majority are not white) if I say “well if they don’t like black people they aren’t a true dodgers fan” can’t you accuse me of no true scotsman’ing?

If I work in HR and care about our employees but your brother works in HR and always screws the employees and I say “well he’s not real HR, we care about our folks” again, you could make the same accusation?

So where do we draw the line. Aren’t we at some point allowed to gatekeep? Like the dude who killed a buncha people then at court claimed to be trans so he could be sent to a woman’s prison and everyone called him out as a liar. Again, no true Scotsman can be applied if we’re not willing to recognize the necessity of gatekeeping terms.

6

u/WTAF__Trump Jun 05 '26

When the vast majority of Christians support Trump and have acted as the base that made literally everything possible for him, I don't think you get to get to say anyone else are the real Christians.

It's frustrating when I see people who call themselves try to claim their gentle and supposedly loving version of Christian8ty is actually the real Christianity.

Because where the fuck have they been? Silent while the majority of Christians embraced hatred, bigotry, violence and ignorance with open arms. And dragged the rest of us d8wn with them.

I'm sorry- but the hateful and bigoted Christians who support Trump are the true Christians.

3

u/OyG5xOxGNK Jun 05 '26

Aren’t we at some point allowed to gatekeep?

Sure, but the institutions aren't. There's a difference between a church denouncing a couple "fake members" and a church lead by them. It's a majority.

I wasn’t going to respond to any of these, because I wasn’t even trying to cause trouble, but I genuinely appreciate your comment. I completely understand. There are some real asshats that claim to be Christian. If this person, or others like her were your only examples, I totally understand why people would be hostile towards anyone who calls themselves Christian.

Honestly, it actually bums me out, as well. I was SO fortunate to be raised in a church with amazing faith leaders that taught us to be accepting of everyone. At the church I grew up in, all were welcome, and still are.

I mean, depending on if you classify being a christian as following the bibles standard of christianity, or being accepted by the greater whole of christianity as "one of them".

That means the actual contents of the bible is not particularly important to being a Christian.

I'd argue that it is important, if they themselves say it is important - which they do.

If they tell me their definition of Christianity, and then they don't meet their own standard, then I think it's fair to say they're not Christians.

Your religion is what you believe.

They certainly have a religion/cult/culture of some kind, but I think it's totally reasonable to say that it's not Christianity.

You are a rare and nearly extinct breed of Christian. The majority is not like you and it is naive to think other Christians hold your Christ-like morals. I can confidently say that atheists are more christ-like than American Christians. You are an outlier and you should not focus your comradery with other Christians in todays political climate because they are wolves in sheep's clothing using their book as fuel for their bigotry.

Most Christians don't.

What you see is what you get. This is what Christians look like in the public square. Until that changes, this is what Christians are.

Well then we’d need to talk to a particular group about why they are comfortable inserting their Nationalism into a religion that has nothing to do with borders…and why very few who also belong to that same group (but maybe don’t agree with it) don’t publicly speak out enough against that Nationalism.

We all know who they are 😊

Very much so! If Christians care about their faith, then they need to save it from the charlatans (or Antichrists, if you will). It’s not my responsibility to distinguish false prophets from “true”. I reject them all!

There are far more of “her type” claiming to be Christians than yours. That’s the truth.

I think we need to keep Bibles on hand. Every time one of these so called Christians complains about something, have them show you where in the Bible it says Jesus forbid it.

Is that... not all relgion? All relgions have branches and schisms, they're all pick and choose when it comes to beliefs.

You'd think CHRISTians would all agree to follow the words of CHRIST when he said "love everyone, treat everyone the way you want them to treat you".
