A No True-Scotsman logical fallacy goes like "No True Scotsman would do x. If he did x then he is no True Scotsman.".
In the Religion Group, the Other Place, this appears as someone denying that a christian who does something that a poster disagrees with, is not really a christian.
In other words noone who does something bad is a christian, which is poppycock.
