With this latest reply you’ve opted to go the route of simply saying “I’m right, you’re wrong” while not responding to any criticisms or flaws with your reasoning because it’s “not worth your time” meanwhile you have the time to be increasingly aggressive in restating the same things.
It would seem to me that you’ve proven that it’s not about time at all but a lack of merit to the primary point that you are asserting so strongly.
I have to wonder why you are so invested in believing that bad people can’t truly be Christians when you’ve already acknowledged that other bad people can indeed be Christian and you’ve acknowledged further, that being a Christian has no hard definitions given the highly intepretive nature of this religion (as can be seen via the many sects, readings, translations, breakoffs and more).
Its almost as if you badly want to associate being Christian with being supirior to non Christians and allowing awful people to correctly declare their religious statuses hurts your wanting to denigrate others by asserting that your faith makes you a better person.
That’s just one plausible explanation. Of course I wouldn’t need to hypothesize if you engaged honestly and actually covered any of the many holes in your reasoning but you ~“don’t have the time” (as your multiple comments avoiding answering oh so clearly show).
Mike Johnson isn’t a “bad” person, but we can form a pattern from his actions and words. He’s likely a person who is using religion for his personal gain, just like many religious leaders likely are.
I’d say that a Christian is a person who follows Christ. It’s not complicated. Religion has been used by those who hold power to oppress and control the masses for centuries - this is nothing new.
Not only because you just, a few comments ago, accused me of defending him, but just on its face.
How is a man doing his best to deprive millions of healthcare, starve children and support a Christo whitenationalist fascist regime headed by a pedophile not a bad person???
I am utterly befuddled at your moral compass.

Sure it’s not complicated if not for the many complications I’ve already listed but you’ve just decided to keep ignoring.
At this point you keep responding but refuse to address anything I’ve said so what point is there?
Wasn’t one of your reasons for not responding that you said it wasn’t worth your time?
Religion has been used by those who hold power to oppress and control the masses for centuries - this is nothing new.
And yet none of this is an explanation for how Mike Johnson or any number of other powerful figures who do things you disagree with aren’t Christian.

It is utterly insane to me you can verbatim say
