Because we open not our mouth. Like the lamb led to the slaughter, or the sheep who stands before the shearer.

Bro, again, I don't care who makes fun of whom or what. You seemed pretty offended on behalf of the OP though. Did y'all make a date yet?Posted on 5/12/21 at 11:14 am to Mo Jeaux

Maybe Christians should take a lesson from that.
no. Christian lessons are the Words of Jesus.
love your neighbors
feed the poor.
no more righteous indignation while you carry on your adulterous affair Newt.

Your sin separates you from God and you need the reconciliation on Jesus provides. Repent of your rebellion against the lord of hosts and put your trust in Christ's sacrifice on the cross and you will be forgiven and made a son of God and heir through adoption.
the premise you suggest is the false dichotomy.
i am not seoarated from God.
nothing i could do could separate me from God.
no one is separate from God.
i and the Father are One.
so it is with you and everyone. and every thing.
your story is based on a false premise. no one is apart from the divine.

It's for being religious. That's why comedians are always making fun of Muslims.
Oh, wait.
Oh, wait.

That's great. For a significant portion of its history it didn't. It tore down idols and temples of other religions. It massacred people. It burned people.
I'm not saying you should do that, I'm just saying that less people would be making fun of it if it did.
Christians are to expect persecution and to count it a blessing to suffer for Christ. Killing our enemies is not what Christians are supposed to do.

Like most people.... Muslims hate having their faith challenged. Whereas a Catholic will just leave the room when pedo priest jokes start... a muzzie will plot a beheading. Those shouldn’t be in our society. Gotta weed out the radicals.

What's ultimately wrong with the "no true Scotsman" fallacy is that it changes the meaning of "Scotsman" (or "Christian" or whatever else you want to substitute) ad hoc and arbitrarily. We have a standard for what a follower of Christ looks like from the Bible, so when someone claims to be a Christian but looks nothing like what the Bible says a Christian is, we can be confident in saying "no true Christian...".
Obviously we can't look into the hearts of man to see who is saved and who isn't, but we can objectively look at the lives and actions of people and say whether or not that lines up with what the Bible teaches about what Christians do.
