NO TRUE CHRISTIAN FALLACY
FORM
Person A: "No Christian ever leaves Christianity."
Person B: "But I was a Christian and I left Christianity.
"
Person A: "But no true Christian ever leaves Christianity."
This accusation is a classic "no true Scotsman" argument because it attempts to redefine ad-hoc what a Christian is. According to the definition, no person could ever have been a Christian if they leave Christianity at some point in the future.
It would be impossible using this criteria -
the abandoning of a religion - to determine who, among current Christians, is actually a "true Christian". How many unwitting imposters attend church every week? How come the true Christians were never able to "sniff
these impostors out" while these "fakes" were still attending the same religious rituals as obediently as possible? This is clearly absurd.
Mandatory Bible Verse For Trew Kristyuns: 1 Samuel 16:7
“The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” (In other words, according to this bible verse, you cannot tell who is, or is not, a true Christian. Only God knows.)
