Most generalizations about them are going to be over generalizations, it's just the nature of the beast. No matter what you say about Christians, someone else will be able to say 'not all Christians'. Of course not all Christians, it's vapid to insinuate that the person who made an observation about Christians was talking about 100% of them. For the sake of brevity and communication, it should be taken as read that a comment about Christians in general, while it may apply to millions of Christians, does not apply to all of them. If I complain about Christians who try to get ID taught in science classes; I'm not complaining about the Christians who aren't doing that. If I say Christians believe in demonic possession, I'm not talking about the Christians that don't. If I complain that white people get special privileges in America that people of color don't get, I'm not talking about the poorest white people in Appalachia. Knowing when to chime in about 'not all X' and when not to is part of reading comprehension.
When Donald Trump says that Muslims are terrorists and Mexicans are rapists, it's your fault for not assuming that he doesn't mean all of them.
Were you actually trying to come up with an awful comparison that is fundamentally different from what I'm talking about?
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
