Labels, useless mutherfu..didnt say it, meant it Options

How does one define one's self without branding ourselves with useless labels? like uninspiredfae keeps telling everyone she is a deist. and other people are like im an atheist. i call myself a christian of sorts. Psychiatrists use words to classify humans as if they were animals. The churches use words to gain support and followers. Well as for the brain doctors, I AM NOT AN ANIMAL! i dont know about you, but when i got my thumbs and the ability to make tools we were set apart from the kingdom animalea. im sick of people classifying themselves with such stupid names as Buddhist, Hinduist <thing i dunno, muslim, christian, jehovas witness. Maybe their prophets for their religion were touched by God, but no matter how you look at it, there is one higher power. We all know he is there in the deepest breeches of our soul. I believe the christians and jews make the most sense. Muslims say to kill anyone who does not convert. come on now that cant be good for anyone. But the christian bible has guidelines that would make a utopia one that is kind of like the one Marx dreamed of but God is the ruler and we are all equal.It is the men who put the spin on their religions to benefit them. We are all people and all have our own opinion on God. But we all know he is there. He has to be, it just makes sense. The existence of God is the only logical explanation of creation and existence. Christianity benefits everybody. People are not perfect and they are doing it wrong... not all of them mind you.



This isnt really a debate topic, that doesnt mean close it. This is highly controversial, but you cant debate fact.

No, my dear, I've never said I'm Deist (at least I don't remember doing anything like that). Try and find ONE SENTENCE where I said I'm Deist? Please! And I only tell people when I'm being asked... or someone expressed interest in knowing, or when someone is challenging my beliefs, like you are doing... do you doubt that I agree with Deism?
Wow, that's just funny, but offensive somehow .

I am first and foremost agnostic, then humanist/deist, because I agree with SOME parts to deism and humanism.... I think you should edit your post or else people will have misconceptions about my beliefs.

Now back to topic:

How does one define one's self without branding ourselves with useless labels?

That's the thing, you DON'T define yourself because to define is to limit. I'm sure you're thinking, if I don't define myself, then why do I call myself an agnostic? Well, simple: I do not define myself, but word describes me. If I happen to believe that agnosticism explain what I believe in, then the word simple describes what I believe in, but that one word doesn't define my character/features/hobbies... what not.

If you want to close yourself off to possibilities, then go ahead and define yourself. Give yourself a specific lable and describe each and every one of your tendencies and belief. <-- This is defining oneself but even that doesn't fully define who you are.

Tell you what, I really don't know much about myself to be able to write a definition that fully describe who I am and what I believe in. That's why I thought that agnosticsm describes me so well... it leaves room for choice and having choices is better than not.
