    There’s nothing disingenuous about it. If you don’t hold to a belief system, you don’t hold to a belief system. A genocide of a people that God once considered “chosen” purely on the grounds of race is not part of the Christian belief system. My overall point is that you cannot blame Christianity for the holocaust - the main proponents of the Holocaust weren’t Christian at all.

    Dachau literally had barracks for clergy

    St James, the Brother of our Lord wrote the following:

    James 1:26-27

    If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person’s religion is worthless. Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.

    Now, to address your allegation referring to a “Heritage Foundation” (which I had to google) you’re probably referring to an American “conservative” think-tank. They are apparently behind the “Project 2025” satanic mandate laid out by the antichrists of American politics. Doesn’t St James write to keep ourselves unstained from the world? Why would I ever align myself with the leader of the USA? Do you automatically assume that because I follow Christ? Would Christ approve of what your president is doing? If Christ will return today, I tell you, it’ll be worse for the USA and the anglosphere in general facing God’s judgement than many other countries. I would never worship anyone other than God, unlike the cultists in that cesspit of a nation. You lot will have a lot to answer for, committing such evil, some doing so claiming in the Name of God, and others rejecting and blaspheming Him! Repent and turn to the Gospel. Don’t follow the ones who’ll die, who tickle ears and show off spectacles. follow He who was raised from the dead and is seated at the right hand of the Father almighty - for He will return in Glory to judge the living and the dead! His Kingdom will have no end!

    Leadership lacked spiritual strength because of serious Biblical ignorance and unbelief.

    Yeah, it’s reinforcing my point. That’s why I specified “bible-believing”. Just identifying as a Christian because it’s your culture isn’t the same as being an actual believer.

    And before you pull out a “no true scotsman”, that argument is moot. It’s like saying “vegans don’t eat meat”, then someone else says “xyz is a vegan and eats meat”. It’s a valid objection to say that somebody isn’t actually something, unlike the “no true scotsman” where ethnicity and nationality are being debated over something trivial like sugar on porridge. You need to hold actual Christian beliefs to be a true Christian.

    In fact it matches the archetypical example so well that it’s kinda wild that you quoted it when trying to say it doesn’t apply

    What type of horse kicked you in the head to make you think that mass murder is as trivial as sugar on porridge or saying no-no words?

    Even then, most of the time Religion was used as a justification for the actual intent which was usually some form of colonial subjugation. “We’re spreading the Gospel” wasn’t the actual intent, moreso just what you told people at home questioning the ethics of you conquering faraway lands

    “No true Scotsman” isn’t just a thing you can scream at everything.

    The No True Scotsman tale is as follows:

    Person A: “No Scotsman puts sugar on his porridge.” Person B: “But my uncle Angus is a Scotsman and he puts sugar on his porridge.” Person A: “But no true Scotsman puts sugar on his porridge.”

    I don’t know about you, but having sugar on your porridge isn’t a large scale distinction as okay-ing the mass murder of an ethnic group.

    A more accurate example within Christianity will be:

    Person A: “No Christian says swear words”

    Person B: “But my uncle Angus is a Christian and he swears sometimes”

    Person A: “But no true Christian says swear words”

    May not be stonings, but you’ve got the French Revolution, Stalin’s purge during the Soviet Union and Cultural Revolution - all mass executions caused by Atheist states.

    The Holocaust wasn’t motivated by religion either- Actual bible-believing Christians were against it. The predecessor to our “progressive” Christians (“Christ of the culture” mentality)
