rundownhouse you're basically doing the same thing by saying that mormons annoy you and trying to project it onto all christians somehow.

The point was that constant exposure to one group can easily bias you one way or another wrt all groups. I don't know anyone who's Baha'i - Anacardo, I guess - so I don't have an opinion one way or another. I do know tons of crazy-assed Southern Baptists, so I've formed a judgment about them.

I dunno, I feel like lots of people really take the "Don't judge people!" thing way too far. Of course I'm judging you. If I meet you on a corner screaming about God bringing the wrath of AIDS down on the gays, then I'm probably going to judge you so harshly that you don't ever have a chance to show me otherwise. If you tell me you've devoted your life to Jesus, or you're a heroin addict, or you just got back from Iraq, whatever, I'm going to judge you way less extremely, but I'm still going to apply a bias. You'll have your chance to affect it, but there it is.

sure, judge the person. but why project that judgement onto others you haven't met?
