@bruisedreed It's kind of boarding on NAA. He is actually attempting to answer the question, and the information is factual and tangentially related. However, it's based on the fallacy that Kant was a Christian reformer. I would just down vote, which I did.
I would repeat what Caleb said immediately after you. NAA is for when the answer doesn't match the question frame.
@bruisedreed Considering who it is, you have a point.
But we're supposed to judge content irrespective of its author. I don't really agree with that notion. Why do we have rep then?
@Caleb This is why you're a stellar mod. You walk that line like a champ.

@LeeWoofenden I agree motive is not important. But being facially wrong is different from ignoring the frame of the question. I say the former is what's happening here. Down votes should be enough.
Like Caleb, it won't bother me if there's a community delete anyway.
@Nathaniel I'm going with strangely wrong. Weird claim in it (God didn't mean to create something?!). Again, down votes should be enough.
But there should be a point where absurdity is deleted. That answer is on that line, if you ask me.

@fredsbend I think it's the latter. Kant and the Freemasons are outside of the frame of the question. The question asks about "Reformation leaders" "(Luther, Calvin, Wesley, etc.)," which Kant and the Freemasons aren't.
@fredsbend I should clarify that I don't mean the answerer was intentionally ignoring the frame. Rather, whatever the answerer thought, the answer is outside the frame, and is therefore NAA.
If a question asked about the vocation of Catholic priests, and someone answered instead about the vocation of Catholic monks, not realizing that the two aren't the same (although they do overlap in some individuals), the question would still be NAA even if the answerer thought s/he was answering the question.

Q: Homosexuality of celibate religious officials

Aaron BrickThrough history a number of religious traditions have had officials serving in roles that required celibacy. One famous example is that of a Catholic priest. Some of these traditions, such as those of the Catholic church, also denigrate and deny homosexuality. Under such conditions the celibacy r...

@LeeWoofenden That's good reasoning there. I think you may have swayed me.
Using the argument to absurdity, we'd have to allow an answer that said "The reformer Charles Russell says ..."
But he's not a reformer! Therefore the answer doesn't fit the frame. Delete.
