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.
It would be inaccurate to suggest that Christians, in general, think highly of the act of mass murder, but if you point out the fact that God is depicted as one in his own scripture, most of them will deny it or attempt to hand wave it.
Several Christians on this forum, however, know very well that they worship a mass murdering monster and they think that being a mass murderer doesn't necessarily make one monstrous. Explain to them that children and infants were brutally massacred and they'll be happy to explain to you why they were evil criminals who got exactly what thy deserved.
