That is usually the case. Especially with religion. Since we
have all been hurt by people who claimed to be spiritual and
were not.

Yes. By your avitar, you appear to be muslim. At one time I was severely wronged by a very wealthy Iranian. This, the American hostage situation in Iran at the time, and the way that many middle eastern people do business, made me angry and prejudice toward most in the middle east. Then, fortunately I met an Iranian family that fled Iran before the Shaw was deposed. This family was so kind and honest and I realized that, like the proverb goes "there is good and bad in every thing". So, I no longer hate the people of the middle east. But, because I've had CONSTANT and CONSISTENTLY bad business experiences with middle easterners, I am still VERY leary of doing business with anyone from the middle east until they change the way they do business. I still do not trust them. Sorry. Peace.

I try not to, although i have had such an experience. My indignation comes from an abusive catholic upbringing, and there are individuals that I remember who were particularly abusive.
But on the whole, I treat all superstition, as just what it is; quaint and silly, tho sometime poetic. Which is something i like about SOME believers; that is the poetic.

While I currently only have my child involved in one extra curricular activity, I am aware that other parents have their calendars jam packed. I think that any kind of group work should be taken care of during class time. I am a single mom who does not drive. Sometimes a simple birthday party is a major chore, or cannot be done due to location.

Yes. A better question would be "are there any people who DON'T project their hate from such an experience onto a larger group of people?".

Mav thinks so. Just watch what happens when people hear the name "Jerry Fallwell" or "Pat Robertson"
People project their issues with these two men onto the entirety of Christianity.
When you mention "Billy Graham" you hear "If more Christians were like him, I wouldn't hate Christians so much."
It's easier to hate the love.

Afraid they can. I guess I am even guilty of it. Because I had so much trouble with holier that thou Christians when I converted from them to Judaism, I have an anger toward Christians. Yet, so many of my friends are Christians, I put them in a different category-----------''they are not like the rest''.

Sure, Muslims and Christians do it all the time.

This happens all of the time. We call it stereotyping.
