191. I disagree
bmus:
"Since you can't prove that your definition of christian is the correct one, you're guilty of using the fallacy."

These two ideas in this sentence don't connect.

I don't need to prove my definition is correct to anyone but myself. I know that others would share my definition as well.

I only need to prove alternative definitions exist. The NTS fallacy notion depends on the idea that Christianity is undefinable, which is incorrect, as far as I am concerned. Therefore, as I pointed out several times, the NTS fallacy does not apply. The author of the fallacy himself does not assert that it always applies. If he doesn't, why do you?
