Got kicked off of Facebook because I had said that there is no "true Christian" any more than there is no "true Scotchman." It is a theory that they exist. It's a theory they can exist but nobody can name anyone living or dead who is one.

I got a message that was "hate speech" and couldn't post on Facebook anymore.

I got off FB six months ago. It had became too toxic. Ofter when some person or group is demonstrated to be deficient or negligent, they react by overcorrecting. FB has been under attack the last two years. Its quite possible they are swinging to overcorrection. It should swing back towards the center after they get the gist of weeding out the true abusers.

There is no such thing as a Scotchman, true or otherwise.
As a noun Scotch is a drink, or as a verb means to put an end to.
An indigenous inhabitant of Scotland is a Scott (with two Ts Scot with one t is a tax).
Even the logical fallacy "No true Scotsman" is wrong and should actually be "No true man of Scotland"
The word Scotsman exists only as the name of a Newspaper.

It's Scotsman, not scotchman.

Doesn't FB actually have a coherent definition for hate speech? Because if that's literally all you said, there's no way to classify it as hate speech. It's a little weird that someone can just decide they're offended, make a baseless claim, and you can get the ban hammer.

Because the expression is "No true Scotsman." Donald Trump insulted the Scots by saying his mother was "Scotch."

A true Christian a mythological creature for popular mythology.

Ignorance is astounding

and fairly normal and widespread pretty much throughout the population.

There is only two things in unlimited abundance in the universe: hydrogen and stupidity.

I'm not too sure about the hydrogen.
