The True Scotsman fallacy is illogical. Christianity is an aim and not a destination. No one can ever be completely Christ like. Maybe you could achieve Christlikeness for a tiny moment. Fact is, every moment you have to choose what to do. No matter what you label yourself, atheist, Christian, pastafarian or worshiper of the soup dragon, you cannot naturally be perfect. A Scotsman is a Scotsman by birth. What a Scotsman does falls within the parameters of being human.
There is no line to step over, no ritual that makes you perfect. You're not a sinful human one minute and a Christian the other. you are always sinful by nature. If you want to use Biblical logic, only Christ is perfect. There is no magical cure.
I didn't say you couldn't have an opinion. That would be ridiculous. Richard Dawkins has fought very hard to keep people ignorant about science from having any authority over the opinion of Scientists on Science.
I made clear statements as to why, factually, some Catholic Doctrine is anti Christ. Do you not agree with those statements? I see no one is addressing them or bringing any other evidence to the table.

Then you shouldn't be allowed to have a opinion about atheism or science, if we should use your logic.What is your religious experience Giff?
