Are Lutherans alienated/bashed here?

34. Me too.

It is especially sad that there are actually people who are Christians that are wonderful who get crowded out of the picture by those who....are not.

I have worked hard to teach both of my kids you can't judge an entire group by the actions of some. I am pretty sure my daughter knows all aren't like that. I did explain there are different "synods" in the Luthern world and all I know is they seem to be different "mission statements", as it were. Grandma's was obviously from one of the less humanistic ones.

It did occur to me though that such experiences may lead to negative remarks, I just hope people get into the habit of using the word "some" quite liberally. "Some Christians are jerks..." "Some atheists are assholes..." You get the picture.

Because "all" doesn't apply!

Good to have another voice of reason from the religious among us!
