Mine hit me with the “We’re spending all this money on you now so you can’t grow up and say we didn’t spend money on you when your were a kid.”

      Like he’ll it ain’t. Almost every Christian sect teaches that women are “less then” ,there may not be a direct quote in the book saying woman are not real people. But the teachings of the churches most definitely leans that way.

          A sect is a sub-group of people unified by beliefs or practice, a denomination is essentially just a large named sect. Christianity is not monolithic and organises into groups, it by definition has sects.

          Even if you were right it’s such a ridiculously pointless and pedantic argument, it does nothing to further the conversation. You’re just trying to use cheap gotchas as a thought-terminating cliche. The only thing you’ve done is to force us to literally argue semantics, that is not a good look for you.

          For completeness, here’s a Christian source using the word sect to describe Christian groups, one of the top search engine hits when I searched.

      While you are correct that it is absolutely not christian dogma, I dont think it is unfair for them to be atheistic or even anti-theistic given their experiences.
