When people use such unsupportable judgment of whole groups of people, the only thing they "prove" is their own prejudice.

Rather late to be getting touchy on the subject of being subject to judgement, I would think. But perhaps it is different when you feel it is you who is being judged this time? Even if this is mistaken.

But it is quite clear that most of the defence being made here is because some individuals think that it is they who are being judged. If so - do they really think they are they above judgement? For all any individual may be being accused of in this thread is a generalisation that few would contend - that of being human and thus liable to screw up..........

It should be equally clear that what is being discussed here is organised religion not individuals so they do not eally need to defend themselves. It is not those individuals to whom their religion is important who are being judged. If it is their wish to defend the role of organised religions in the world - they are perfectly entitled to do so but perhaps they are not really entitled to accuse other groups of being prejudiced against them.
