No it isn't.
I have never said that a True Christian believes one thing or the other, and that if he doesn't he's not a True Christian.
In fact I've been clear that in my opinion we can't give a definition of what a True Christian is. There are many types, and it's not for me to say which kind is true.
Others may have leaned close to that fallacy when they say that No True Christian believes in a non-literal Christ, or something like that. But I have never said anything like that.
This whole topic is to talk about literal readings, non-literal readings, and the tropes that go into them.
If you're looking around for insults, please find one that is vaguely related to what I'm doing.
