True/Real "Christians" are bandied about like they actually exist or have a meaning. They don't and they do, but what/who they are depends on whom you ask. Ask a Catholic, ask a Protestant, ask a Pentecostal, ask a Jehovahs Witness, and each time you'll get a different answer. Some of those groups will have very similar answers, but at the same time add some caveats about the other Groups. As we see in this very thread, Contemporary Groups will even add Caveats to their very own predecessors. It is simply not an easy distinction to make consistently.
The idea that this thread is an "Atheist circle jerk" is really just the denial of what is actually an "Atheist smackdown" of Religion. The inconsistencies of Religion, in this case Christianity, are numerous and completely obvious to anyone, including Christians(reason for all the Caveats).
What the OP shows is the danger inherent in Moralism. It was Moralism that gave Power to Hitler/Naziism in Germany. The Rural/Religious population of Germany were disgusted with the German Urban population, especially that which inhabited Berlin. Berlin was a Playground for the Rich back in the 1920's/30's, a place where anyone with some money could get any Sexual Fantasy fulfilled. There was so many varieties of sexual options that Berliners even invented some new sexual fantasies. Straight, Gay/Lesbian, Pedophilia, S&M, Bondage, Master/Slave, Beastiality, you name it, Berlin had it. Berliners became very Wealthy during that time, despite the Economic hardtimes the rest of Germany was experiencing. Practically every Berliner was involved in the Sex Trade.
Most of us would be equally disgusted with what was happening then if we lived near such a City. However, the lesson to be learned from that situation is that Disgust of Immorality can be even more dangerous than the Immorality itself. I don't think I really need to explain why.
