guilty but forgiven. I even sterotype my self from time to time forgetting that as I grow in understanding I am very different than I was.

Oh yes, I will admit that I am guilty of stereotyping. It's a terrible human condition we all have, but that doesn't make it any better, so I try really hard not fall into that trap.
Speaking of which, I found two videos that are highly educational on the subject of stereotyping (links listed below) and it really has improved my outlook on people. It's taken from a Pagan point-of-view, but I feel it can be applied to anyone.

Isn't it human nature to quickly "categorize" and generalize? When we catch ourselves at it, it is humbling, though. Recently, I had the worst revelation. I was criticising someone for being judgemental, and then it occurred to me I was judging the other person! Live and learn, I guess. At least we are forgiven when we ask!

I think we all are, that's why we need to ask God for forgiveness daily. I try to see everyone as an individual.The word says; Judge ye not that ye non be judged......

No. The only difference is the christian knows the truth.

I do find myself stereotyping a bit...and I get proven wrong most every time.

Never, because we are as individualistic as our thumbprints. That's what makes humans so wonderful!

There are those who believe, and those who believe incorrectly.
Depends on what pot your calling black.
