If the definition of "Christian" is "someone who follows the teachings of Jesus"

If that’s your definition then there are no Christians.

I don’t think Dolly Parton hates her family.

Ok, so you're going with the word is useless as a descriptor.

No, I’m saying that christians are people who claim to be christian.

No, I’m saying that christians are people who claim to be christian.

As I said, useless as a descriptor. By that definition the word "Christian" includes someone who donates time to charities, as well as someone who spreads hate about immigrants, wants them sent back to their own countries, and wants to bomb those countries.

The word "Christian" could be applied to a person that wants to take away a woman's right to medical care, and to a person that is pro-choice.

Hell, the word "Christian" could apply to someone who has never set foot inside a church, has never seen a Bible, and has no idea what's even in it, as long as they "claim they are a Christian."

By that definition if I tell you someone is a Christian it doesn't tell you if that person loves Trans people or hates them. As I said, a useless descriptor.
