(10,437 posts)Did anybody say "ALL religious people"? No - so it is a pointless mewling strawman to whine about how that is wrong.
Again - which of the three options is correct or why is there a 4th?
Is it not true that Muslims carried out the WTC attack? It's certainly true that atheists want this temple you seem to want to make a gotcha. No idea why you would imagine I'd deny that. Probably because you seem to want to deny that it's Christians pushing this gay-bashing agenda. You can't - because they are overwhelmingly Christians. There is not the slightest implication in these statements that ALL Muslims carried out the attack, or ALL atheists want a temple or ALL Christians want a homophobic curriculum. I really have no clue why that's a complaint so frequent around here coming almost exclusively from Christians.
Do I complain every time somebody says "men committed rape X times last year", stupidly imagining that the term includes me, who committed zero? But men committed those rapes. Do we complain when the claim is made that Americans killed innocent people in drone attacks? We complain THAT they did perhaps, but in hundreds of threads bemoaning American attacks I have NEVER seen someone complain that saying "Americans" states or implies that ALL Americans did, or that we should carefully spell out "some small number of Americans didthis and it's antithetical to other Americans" every time we mention American attacks.
Why is Christianity to be treated differently from every other attribute?
