Have you ever had an internally consistent thought in your life? Dodgy

The problem with your identification of a no true scots man. is the central rule for no true scots man fallacies are that they must speak of a universal claim to a group (no rules concerning the claim.)

The problem here? There are rules concerning Christianity. Christ Himself say not everyone who calls himself a follower is one. Why? Their are terms and conditions to the faith. What I am saying to those who are outside of worshiping the canonical version of Christ, is they do not have the attonement offered by Him. Without this attonement their offerings are doomed to fail. Why? Because like I said in the OP we all have it wrong to one degree or another, and desperately need the attonement Christ offers to justify our religious efforts.

Again not my words, but the words of Paul to the Church at Galicia, for doing something similar to what the Mormons did.

The minimum is based on our indivisual capacities. For you I'm afraid the bar is rather high.. For someone like dry-sand, I think he would be allowed in if he could just pronounce the Name Jesus.
