Because this ...Are you also born again, Anonymous? Because this posting is about born-again Christians.<BR/><BR/>That anyone is a "non-racist" is open to question, of course. You'd have to tell us what you believe about Indians before I'd concede you were right.<BR/><BR/>But you're right about one thing. I often generalize about Christians as well as Indians, whites, conservatives, liberals, Americans, Europeans, et al. That's necessary to produce clean, effective writing.<BR/><BR/>But when I generalize, I'm generally talking about what the majority believe. I rarely if ever use the word "all." Please tell me you understand generalizations better than reader Stephen does.<BR/><BR/>In this posting, I was targeting conservative, born-again Christians who were potential viewers of <I>The 700 Club</I>. I have no idea what percentage of conservative, born-again Christians would never watch this show because they spurn its kind of programming. Do you?<BR/><BR/>I've read a ton of writing by conservative, born-again Christians. If any of them are sensitive to the plight of Indians in particular or minorities in general, I don't recall them. Send me examples of their tolerant, multicultural attitudes toward Indians and I'll post them in Newspaper Rock.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01478763837213733775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-34652584127725242372009-03-25T09:12:00.000-07:002009-03-25T09:12:00.000-07:00Don't genearlize and steretoype all christians wit...Don't genearlize and steretoype all christians with 700 club or televanglist. I belong to concservative church. They do not view native americans or others the way Pat Robertson does not do they believe people are punished by natural disaeater. I find it extremely offensive when liberals and non=Christian lump all conservative christians together and generlize their beliefs. You constantly are up on arms about natives being stereotyped - rightly so. Is it fair to take a few natives or a group of natives and assume their beliefs and actions are representaive of ALL native? The answer is no. Yet you continually do this to Christians. I have no love of 700 club or Pat Robertson or many of the televanglists out there. I believe they are hypocrits. But I am a proud Christian with strong love of God, and I am non-racist and treat others no matter what their spiritual beliefs as I would wish to be treated - with respect. Just because You don't believe as I does not mean I set out to bash your beliefs...Nor do I try to stereotype you. You might want to rethink and try that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-4337833328551185132009-03-23T04:46:00.000-07:002009-03-23T04:46:00.000-07:00I do have a lot of problems with the 700 Club, and...I do have a lot of problems with the <I>700 Club</I>, and find it to be more of a typical televangelist effort to get the people making it rich. <BR/><BR/>My point was not to defend the <I>700 Club</I>, but to deal with that one generalization.dmarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269773990064736457noreply@blogger.com
