Robespierre wasn't a REAL Deist, because he did bad stuff?

I love this argument. Because christians believe it doesn't matter what you do, just so long as you atone right at the end. Any sane (I know, but run with me) Christian would be totally okay with trying to make God's kingdom on Earth/pushing toward the end times.

Hitler tried to do God's work. A third of the world agreed with his motives, and his beliefs. But that same third of the world will now contest that those christians weren't christians at all.

And the funny part? Now homophobic christians aren't 'true' christians, because God wouldn't condone their hatred. I can't wait to see which christians aren't real christians next. :P

No. Deists believe in a god that made Earth and left it completely alone. So the god would be indifferent to insignificant Robespierre's actions in the French Revolution. Deists don't have to be "good."

@Violation Nation! Well to correct you the German people only elected the Nazis because they were knee-deep in sh*t and shame. As human beings, they probably didn't even certainly agree with his ideology on Jewish people, but they needed to act like it to survive. It was pretty much all about the economy.

Of course it isn't, it's a logical fallacy called the "No True Scotsman".

"Imagine Hamish McDonald, a Scotsman, sitting down with his Glasgow Morning Herald and seeing an article about how the "Brighton Sex Maniac Strikes Again". Hamish is shocked and declares that "No Scotsman would do such a thing". The next day he sits down to read his Glasgow Morning Herald again; and, this time, finds an article about an Aberdeen man whose brutal actions make the Brighton sex maniac seem almost gentlemanly. This fact shows that Hamish was wrong in his opinion but is he going to admit this? Not likely. This time he says, "No true Scotsman would do such a thing"." - Antony Flew

You are defined not by what you say you are

But by what you do.

Lying, Manipulation, all in the name of religion for personal gain is rampant through out history, right down to the money shystering televangelists of today

No.

It is a "No True Scotsman" fallacy.
