What bugs me the most is when someone says “I’m/he’s/she’s Christian” as a short-hand way of saying, “I’m/he’s/she’s a good person.” Much like the cyclical argument that their bible is divine because the bible says it is, instead of using their actions to demonstrate their morality, they fall back on a singular label that only works if you already believe the premise that Christian = good.
Which is why when someone says “I’m Christian” as a defense of their morals, all I hear is, “I’m hiding behind my faith because I have no other evidence to prove I’m a good person.”

They say it to mean “good person”
We hear “liar and rapist, probably a pedophile”
