To explain knowledge of God

[FatAndFaithless]

Um... no Drips, you really are committing the NTS fallacy. You're setting up a set of rules for being a 'real' christian, then when someone who does not adhere to that set (even if they're a christian), you dub them as "not a real christian". You have no reasoned explanation for why these other christians aren't 'really' christians, which is where the 'unreasoned' part of the NTS comes in. It's a really simple fallacy to see, and you're doing it quite explicitly.


I mean, the definitive example of the NTS is right there on the page you linked, and it can easily be shown in different terms.
Person A: "No Scotsman puts sugar on his porridge."
Person B: "I am Scottish, and I put sugar on my porridge."
Person A: "Well, no true Scotsman puts sugar on his porridge."

can be seen as:

Drich: "If you A/S/K, you'll get knowledge of God."
Anyone else: "I did A/S/K, but I did not get knowledge of God."
Drich: "Well, only if you really A/S/K do you get knowledge of God."

You don't stop for one moment to even consider your method is flawed.
