i hate generalizations. remeber people's individuality!

I don't believe in organized religion

Answer 1

Because, by and large, they do. Those who don't stand idly by and ignore atrocities because they want the numbers behind them and casually dismiss their acts if confronted by them.

It is rude beneath all contempt to keep rabid dogs and deny responsibility for them once they've bitten.

Answer 2

It is easier for people to generalize because they are too lazy to take out the time and think and evaluate what the person is like. I hate generalizations, too but I am used to it. Look at things differently, surprise those who than that your are a coinly portray of the media.

Answer 3

It's assumed because the majority seem to behave a certian way. It's the same for anything wether it's religion or something about a certian race. It's the way we have been taught to behave.

Answer 4

That's true but remember that although it won't necessarily dictate their actions, a religion will effect people by giving them a bias against other certain aspects of the world.

Answer 5

It's easy to group and attack people, make sweeping generalizations. My beliefs may not be yours, but I go about my business quietly, faithfully, try to help others. Could be said for many other groups. Good and bad in both.

Assumptions are for Mice for their drooling over the cheese in the trap.
