[quote]Extremist and simple mindedness are the reasons I hate labels. People generally only associate negative ideas with any label. Whether it be politics/religion/race/etc, its the simple mindedness of many, to not see people as an individual but rather just the stereotypes of the label. Extremist tend to create those labels. My girlfriend and I honestly don't even like calling ourselves Christian (her) & atheist (me) because if you talk to someone who doesn't know you 9 times out of 10 their just going to assume the negatives about what you label yourself (unless their the same label as you).[/quote] I'm so glad you said this, as I've been saying it for years. I'm, I guess something like 'non-denominational christian'? I don't know with all of the names anymore. But I really appreciate someone who takes the time to stop and think, rather than just judge, generalize, and try to put down.
