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

[sikdragon]

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.

look it up for yourself instead of relying on other people to relay the message to you. The telephone game isnt reliable.

As I mentioned to you earlier in the Jesus topic, people can learn through people instead of "reading". Word by mouth isn't very reliable, but it certainly cannot be discredited unless you know for sure the person is incompetent.

ur not getting what im saying. why do atheists have to go to a church if they dont believe in anything? why dont they just live their lives? If he didnt exist there would be nothing to deny or disbelieve.

Some Atheists and Agnostics go to Church because they're not close minded and want to learn as well as respect the beliefs of their fellow man, no matter how out-of-this-world they may be. This characteristic is something religious biggots should try to adapt as well.

someone in the thread uninspirefae posted in said they were deist.

I have no idea what on earth you're talking about. Do you have any proofs that I called myself a Deist (maybe I'm forgetting something I've said that should've been cleared up)? Not that I mind being called as such since I agree with some aspects of it, but I do not like people putting IGNORANT words in my mouth. Please refrain from doing so when I already cleared this up in an earlier post, thanks.

we do not need to label ourselves to learn and study. Labels only limit our actions and keep us from reaching our full potential. why say that person is an actor? why not say that person acts. or why say that person is a christian? why not say he follows the christian faith.

Psshh, this is what I have said in my post. But to answer your question, would you tell a child that Julia Roberts is NOT an actress, but she is only a person who acts? Or would you tell your 4 year old sister that the dog shouldn't be called a dog, but something else entirely? To define oneself is to limit one's potentials, but to lable/categorize is to make life/science/technology/culture simple.

that is all im saying. why must you self-righteous biggots become so hostile. this is a debate not an arguement.

I don't sense any hostility from anyone else BUT YOU. Everyone is just inputting their opinions, and for myself, I'm only trying to defend myself against your petty accusations that are quite unfounded.
