    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.

      If you’re going to be strict, there exist no true Christian, because every single Christian has violated some Christian tenant, especially because some tenants are contradictory.
      But if you allow enough wiggle room to allow for the existence of Christians, then you’re going to run straight into true Scotsman when you try to exclude specific groups
