Roy really is smarter than this. I'm thinking he just messed up and can't bring himself to admit it.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

I said, "Oh YEAH, why not?"
She said, "Cause the Jesus in you can't hate the Jesus in me".

He tried to pull the same thing on me with the Jehovah's Witnesses when I said they were not Christian.

JimMy brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1
If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26
This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19

The usual response to Christians committing violence is to deny that the perpetrators are Christians. Not to admit that they are Christians that have sinned or erred or otherwise fallen short of expectations, or that they are Christians who have different views on how Christians should act, but to deny they are Christians.
