        Eh that’s Gen-X humor for you. Also, it’s pretty palpable in this bit… no?

            Man, you wouldn’t believe the things I thought folks were joking about only to discover I was dead wrong and they were dead serious.

              Since we’re talking about gen x humor, it’s almost always sarcastic and self degrading. It’s ridiculous on purpose.

                Oh no I get that. I am a millennial (with an older sister several years older) and I remember a lot of Gen X programming, like Daria lol

          That’s just it.

          Most sects suffer from the No True Scotsman fallacy. there might be some ecumenical leanings when they’re dealing with the world at large, though internally, they usually don’t believe that anyone too far away from their particular flavor is really Christian-enough.

          And that’s ignoring the rampant belief that no True Christian™️ can ever be whatever they happen to find abhorrent- abortion, democrats, lgbtq, the wrong race.

          There’s plenty of evangelicals that don’t think Biden is a Christian- he now supports LGBTQ rights, is more or less pro choice, catholic. And a democrat. These are all things that evangelicals see as proof he’s not.

          And that’s just Biden.

          “Real” Christians.

          I’ve literally had one saying that certain pro-choice presidents weren’t really Christian, and that they persecute “real” Christians, because they need to feed the victim complex.
