You said you don't believe you're making one, but you're saying 'Christians believe..', 'Christians don't..' so on, all of which are, to me, examples of blanket statements.

I am very careful and precise when making general statements. Every general statement I've made in this discussion has disclaimers and qualifiers:

"typical doctrinal treatments of Christian teaching"
"she is most likely to list many doctrinal points I omitted"
"Doctrinal debates within the church have focused on those issues and largely ignored the issues I've listed here"

I *know* these are generalizations and that therefore there are exceptions to every one of them, but it's not always possible to avoid making generalizations, and it is just too awkward and unwieldy to include parenthetical comments ("excluding exceptions") every time. I assumed that this was just a natural part of rhetoric and debate.

If you feel that my generalizations are inaccurate, that is another thing. It may be so; my generalizations and conclusions are based solely on my extensive experience of discourse with Christians. It could simply be that the Christians with whom I have dialogued represent a skewed subset. I honestly do not think so.

I did not mean to discount your perspective, and I apologize if that is what I seemed to be saying with my comments. I can only go on my experience, and depend on people to correct me if I am wrong.
