A memo to the department’s Office for Civil Rights reveals that the agency will allow “only disability-based discrimination” cases to proceed. Thousands of outstanding complaints will continue to sit idle.

    And this makes me wonder if Greg Abbott is trying to get someone for discriminating against him being in a wheelchair.

    Because it’s always different then.

        Why the scare quotes?

        Edit: yeah I don’t care about your “no true Scotsman.” There are tens of thousands of sects of Christianity, and the contradictory nature of their holy book allows all of them to claim they got it right.

        You don’t get to just artificially distance yourself from these people, just because you disagree with 13% of what they believe. You have no authority to claim that these people are any less Christian than you. Sorry if that makes your bullshit religion look bad.

          They aren’t scare quotes. The people suing are not really Christians doing their best to follow the path their religion sets.

          They aren’t christians they just pretend to be.

            They most certainly are Christians. Who are you to question their faith?

            I’ve said it before, they should make it “no true Christian” rather than “no true Scotsman,” as I’ve seen it used for that far more often.

          Not the commenter you replied to, but some “Christians” don’t necessarily behave in a Christian-like manner when it comes to things like helping those in need, or treating others the way you would have them treat you.

            See my edit .

            To add, Jesus himself explicitly condoned slavery. Just putting that out there.
