jazz already said as much, but the premise of the thread is fucked up.
what seems to be the issue, such as it is, amounts to folk who are for whatever reason hostile to either the forms of evangelical protestantism that are able to grow in the petri dish of far right american political culture, or to the whole of xtianity because for whatever reason they assume there's no particular distinction between parts and whole, seeing in this particular situation either a reason or an excuse to run out absurd arguments that would play the meotnym game--describe a whole through one of its parts (not matter how small apparently) as if there were no problems with doing it.
the strange thing about it is--as jazz pointed out as well---that this really isn't anything other than name-calling and more strangely still that it repeats the way of thinking that folk see in the op clip.
so i am not sure what the point is behind much of this, unless it is (accidentally) to demonstrate that the presence of absence of xtianity is inconsequential when it comes to a desire to say stupid things about lots of other people.
and this from someone who has no particular use for christianity.
there may have been a point in this thread where i thought--we're on the same side, so stop making such a poor show of it---but that passed kinda quickly over into this is fucking stupid and it's stayed there.
