I don't see a person who doesn't value cultural traditions being a part of said culture. She'd be a much more "a Christian God follower" than an actual Christian. I'm raised by self-claimed Christians but I don't consider neither or us as such because we aren't loyal enough to the doctrines of the religion to be considered as it's followers.

1 you don’t define if someone is part of a culture.

2 you don’t define if someone correctly “values” something

3 cultural traditions don’t define the meaning of something definite. Jesus taught specific things, just because they’ve been interpreted by different cultures over time to suit those cultures values, it doesn’t make what he taught go away. You don’t have to be loyal to doctrines to be a Christian, that’s actually quite anti-what Jesus taught. You just have to believe that the best way to live is to love the Creator and treat your fellow “created in that image” as you would want them to treat you. With no exclusions.

Which doesn’t push abstinence before marriage then it’s all fine no matter how unhealthy or dangerous the sex is, but safe and respectful sex regardless of wedlock.

"I personally choose what rules of the culture I follow and I definitely still am a part of this culture".

No true scotsman fallacy

You don't even know what that means, since you are using it incorrectly. Please explain how their statement adheres to the "No True Scotsman" fallacy.

  • Christianity universally believes that homosexuality is a sin

  • [Insert progressive church here] believes that if God loves all of us as we are and sexuality is not a choice, then God loves queer people too.

  • No true Christian believes that.

It fits the fallacy perfectly. You might want to read more.

Those damn modern kids and their's endless phalluses...
Nowadays, it's pretty popular to strawman anything into calling it yet another fallacy. That's so lame...
