    … Christians owned slaves. There are rules for owning slaves in the bible.

    What aren’t you getting about this?

      I’m agreeing with you. “No true Scotsman” is when there is no standard by which to measure the thing. We have the Bible by which to measure Christianness, and since it has rules for keeping slaves right there in it, slavery is truly Christian. Saying it is not isn’t a logical fallacy, it’s just false.
