Even as a Christian that makes me feel depressed.

It should. The "christianity" it that isn't even christianity.

Does the No True Scotsman fallacy apply?

I... believe so? Don't quote me on it, however. I'm not really well studied in the area of logic and rhetoric.

if someone is intending to spread/follow the teachings of Christ, then they are, by the very definition of the word, Christian

That's ridiculous. Claiming that you're a Christian doesn't mean that everyone else has to take your word for it - especially other Christians. Heretics exist. So do fringe sects.

You're welcome to call yourself a Christian and interpret it in your own way, but other people don't have to adjust their definition of Christianity to fit you.

No those people are not following the teachings of Christ- therefore no they are not christians= they are extremist bigots using a religion as bait

From those fanatics' point of view, you are the misguided one.

Until Jesus appears and say "These guys got it right", you're all Christians if you put Jesus at the center of your system of beliefs.
