Multiple pastors tell me, essentially, the same story about quoting the Sermon on the Mount, parenthetically, in their preaching—'turn the other cheek'—[and] to have someone come up after to say, 'Where did you get those liberal talking points?'" Moore said.

"When the pastor would say, 'I'm literally quoting Jesus Christ' ... The response would be, 'Yes, but that doesn't work anymore. That's weak," he added.

Some people still think evangelicals are christians apparently.

what has millennia of the "no true christian!!!" arguing accomplished?

if someone calls themself a "christian" then that's what they are, and they're using the same stone age book of tall tales to argue why they're the only true christians

fuck religion altogether, i say

I mean, not much, but rejecting the teachings of Jesus is still literally heresy. If we are to have a useful definition of the word "Christian," it kinda has to include believing in the word of Christ.

lol according to whom? "true" chrsitians? the ones who are the self-proclaimed "authority" on what that means, and what anything jesus supposedly said means?

nope. "christian" is literally anyone who calls themself christian

If someone tells everyone he knows he is a man, he is a man even if he doesn't seem like a man sometimes. Same with Christians. It is really annoying when they don't seem to follow many Christian teachings but they are still Christian. IMO anyway.
