If you hate Pope Leo because he is too “liberal”, I have some very bad news for you about Jesus.
@Strandjunker I would hazard a guess a large portion of self-described Christians don't actually believe in Jesus.

@vonxylofon @Strandjunker

oh they believe in *a* jesus

their jesus carries an AR-15, worships plutocracy, and hates trans people and immigrants

of course, that has nothing to do with the actual Jesus

so they are fake Christians, hewing to bigotry and ignorance and hate

a cult of violent morons

@benroyce @vonxylofon @Strandjunker "Fake Christians" is simply not accurate. Exactly the No True Scotsman fallacy.

@liquor_american @vonxylofon @Strandjunker

no

misapplication of the No True Scotsman fallacy

there is no appeal to purity and generalization in my statement

i am simply saying here you have this group that defiles what Jesus teaches. and i am excluding them from a valid definition of Christianity for doing that. it's a classification, not purity, not generalization

no True Scotsman would be if i said this is the only way you can be a Christian, and exclude them on that basis. not what i did
