How many more centuries of Christians acting like Christians is it gonna take before we drop this “no true Scotsman” nonsense? This behavior comes from the same impulse as the crusades, the inquisition, witch trials, Christian support for chattel slavery, Christian support for anti-miscegenation laws, Christian support for segregation, Christian opposition to abortion, Christian opposition to gay marriage, Christian opposition to the very existence of trans people, Christian complicity in abuse and genocide of indigenous people, Christian protection of clergy that abuse children, and I’m certain there’s dozens or perhaps even hundreds of things I’ve left out.
Christians are acting exactly like Christians when they support a bigoted rapist grifter.
