I probably could if I knew what your were quoting and thought it was worthwhile to look. At this point, I don’t see either one of those things. If you’re going to quote someone, posting more than two words would help.
“I find generalizations detract from real discourse.”
I have always found posting two words of someone’s comments and demanding further explication without having been provided the context to detract from real discourse. Generalizations, on the other hand, are usually easily dealt with.
Thought you might find this thread of interest.

Might I suggest you apply your comments to your own posting. I am merely asking you to clarify your own question and explain which 'Protestant groups' and which 'new Bibles' you are referring to.
You're absolutely correct that generalizations are easy to respond to. It's also easy to unjustly slander and accuse using generalities, because we can lump disparate groups together as we choose. Truth though is better served by speaking clearly and clarifying exactly who and what we mean.
Both context and full earlier texts are available through use of the "To xx" link below the text, just in case you were unaware of this. As you yourself did not post my full previous posting, I find it strange that you place a load on others which you do not place on yourself.
