I had some freeper tell me that the only people who count as "Christians" are those who can "tell you the exact moment they got saved and accepted Jesus as their savior"

Since the vast majority of Copts (probably over 95% of them) were baptized as babies as never went around telling people when they were "saved" and "started a personal relationship with Jesus Christ", I guess they're "not Christians", according to some of our evangelical protestant friends. Just applying their logic.

I guess where I'd want to add a footnote, is I wouldn't even associate the honorable name "Evangelical" with people who would reject Copts, Catholics or Orthodox as Christians. I think those who are so preemptively repellent are a distinct minority, even here in FReeperville.

And we have many Evangelical friends here.

Haven't had much time to think of a suitable new label. Plenty of snarky ones pop up in my mischievous brain, but no need to add to the total amount of snark in the Universe.

How about "the More Bumptious Brethren"? I don't think anyone takes serious offense at "bumptious". Hmm. The MBB's.
