I think you need to describe what you are thinking more fully.   There seems to be more behind what your are trying to get at, but we can't know that.

RoadRunner79,

You may think how I started the thread was enough for a person with enough experience to realize what I was saying.


You may compare in an example below.

Christian says: That person who calls themself a Christian is not really a Christian.

Atheist says:  You are wrong to say that someone who calls themself Christian is not a Christian.

Christian says:  Have you ever looked at 1 John 4:1 ?

See, that is getting a little better.  Your first post was fairly cryptic

There are people; who misuse or don't understand the "No true Scottsman"  fallacy.  For some, if what they say is correct, then I am also legitimized, in requiring everyone to refer to me as Dr. Murray (Though I have no such degree).

In actuality, I don't think that it is pertinent if they are or are not a Christian, and that Augustine's thoughts; to never judge a philosophy by it's abuse is more relevant.
