Hello McFly, because of that cherry picking you cant nail anyone down. Again, you are inadvertently allowing the believer to move the goal posts.

This allows them to us the NTS. The point is to get them to realize that cherry picking does not make someone else who interprets it differently less of a believer. A Black southern Obama liberal Baptist still believes in the same God of Jesus as a white Evangelical GOP Baptist. To get them to understand why "True Scotsman" is a fallacy, you ask them what makes them right and someone else wrong. It is still the same book regardless.


I think you are moving the goal post of what is a "true Scotsman" fallacy.   A true Scottsmen fallacy normally refer to ad hoc revision to the subject of the assertion when confronted with a counterexample to a broader original. The subject in dispute are Nazis who may think of themselves as Christians or who may have been thought of by others as Christians.   Lek didn't make a universal assertion regarding all those who might think of themselves, or be thought of, as Christians.   He made a claim regarding those who thought and behaved a specific way.   He did not seem to make any ad hoc revisions to the subject of his claim.
