True Christian logic.
This is an example of the "No True Scotsman" Fallacy. When applied to Christianity, numerous Christians try to disassociate themselves from mean-spirited, hateful other Christians as follows:
A: Some Christians are really nasty people. Like Fred down the block. Man, for someone who's always talking about how devout he is, he's a total asshole.
B: Well, that's not fair. You can't blame religion for that because true Christians are all gentle, compassionate people. So if someone is mean and nasty, then they're not a true Christian.
See how that works? You never have to defend your religious beliefs because you define the problem away. Christians are never assholes simply because you define the membership of the set "Christians" to exclude such folks, regardless of what they think. Problem solved.
