And most of the theists on this forum have said some vile things in defense of god's mass murder.
When generalizing fruits or other inanimate objects, then they can be more easily accepted.
People, on the other hand, are far too diverse and complex to generalize accurately. Yes we can make generalizations, but don't confuse a generalization such as "Christians believe in the Trinity" (which is true in the majority of cases) with a much narrower generalization such as "Christians support genocide", the one is a fundamental tenant to many Christians and is accepted widely as true, whereas the other is pinpointing specifics in scripture which many Christians may be unaware of, and will have various personal rejections and theological arguments for.
Generalizing people in a debate is not going to lead the debate in the right direction.
That's all I'm saying, essentially.
A bible believing what?
