Humans are very good at trying to put things into little boxes.

The same argument can be had with the word atheist. Look up "Evil Bible" for definitions on Atheism. Very confusing. Confused

Any way ...the argument of "Oh...THEY (I'm not really fussed as to who THEY are) are not 'TRUE' [insert religion of choice here] is just another way of saying...I am not ready to look at a world that will NOT fit into my own private little paradigm ? Thinking

Well yeah, but without putting things into the boxes as best as we are able to our discourse would be extremely difficult, I like labels for the very reason that when they are coherently defined we are able to be much more efficient in discussing issues - There is always the problem that people can end up having a different use of terms that leads to problems, or that the labels can be hard to define, but that is nowhere near as much of a problem as having a discussion without labels where each and every relevant belief needs to be established in a case by case basis.

But it doesn't does it?? It's a bit like Quantum physics is the direction in my thinking. I have had some training with science to know that just when you "think" you have something pinned down it goes off and does something utterly in defiance of your nice little definition. VERY annoying I KNOW but there you have it. One can ONLY generalise....to a degree there will always be the exceptions to the 'rule'

I think it is a quaint little theory called Evolution...heard of it? It just might catch on. *sarcasm*
