24. Why don't you tell us what a real Christian is? Without it being a NTS that is
Because anything that says it's based on behavior or social activism or awareness is by definition a No True Scotsman. Christians can't claim special pleading that they alone are defined as people who are nice or positive regardless of what the nasty and negative people who also claim to be Christians do.

What makes your definition of what a real Christian is more truthful than Pat Robertson's or Eric Rudoplph's for that matter?

If holding Christians to the same standard as any other group is bullying in your eyes I don't think the problem is with those who want those standards applied, but rather with those who seek to avoid it.
