Humanity is not a group, because all humans belong to it.
Then you are saying that the church 'group' is not really a group? Are you bending the rules of the English lanuage now?

Are you claiming that church groups don’t discriminate or are you saying that church people believe that men are able to become pregnant just like women?

I am saying that ANYONE is welcome to join our group. No credentials are required. Do need to see your green card. Don't care if you are man, woman, child, straight, gay, handicapped in any manner.... now let's see, who are we discriminating against?
Are you saying that church groups make no difference between people who haven't joined the group and those who already have?
What you are saying is that because Church groups are humans all humans must be part of a church group. Clearly you would agree with me that this is not the case?
That there are people who are not part of any church group.

YES I AM

NO, I'M NOT

Anyone who wants to join the group, can. Doesn't matter how long you have been a part of it. Now tell me, where is the discrimination?
That's all good as long as the law isn't contingent upon what your personal beliefs are.
Obviously, this would be a sticking point for some. Usually those who combine a willing suspension of disbelief with a willing suspension of the US Constitution...
There are people -- too many of them in this country -- who begin from an assumption of exceptionalism. My country is better than yours. My religion is better than yours. My culture is better than yours. You aren't going to get so much peace and harmony when there are those out there who will degrade and debase others from the get-go simply because they look, speak, or believe differently...
Boy, I agree 100%. Look at Obama degrading those who cling to their special religion and guns. Look at the Reverend Wright living in his own segregated and gated community but feels that "my culture is better than yours". Look at the extreme left blogs who "will degrade and debase others from the get-go simply because they look, speak, or believe differently." Look at the exteme environment folks "who begin from an assumption of exceptionalism".
I think this poster has hit the nail on the head!

You seem to associate discrimination only with bad things while the word itself is neutral.
