Yeah, the old "No True Scotsman Fallacy" bullshit. The fallacy in the NTSF is that the NTSF is bullshit. Just because someone identifies as something does not make them that thing. There are certain things that must be done in order to be that thing.
Let's use your example to prove my point.
According to you and people who think the NTSF is valid, one must only claim to be a thing in order to be a thing. No. A Christian has certain commandments and rules and whatnot that they are to follow. If they don't do those things, they are not a Christian. Period. Do the Westboro people do the things that Jesus commanded? No, they do not. In fact, they do just the opposite. Therefore, they are not Christians, and, once again, the NTSF is bullshit.
