What is in a label?

[leo-rcc]

Well, that's your choice Kyu, go on defining yourself as you like, an anti-KKK, a non-vegetarian, a non-totalitarian dictator, a non-asshole if you like, but I was speaking for myself. If it doesn't bother you, that's fine with me.

Perhaps you could define yourself as not-the-asshole-Kyu-maybe-thinks-you-are too?

Kyu

A bit uncalled for Kyu. PR does have a point, it is not very natural to label yourself as something you are not. If it wasn't for the fact the majority of the world is religious in some way and being non-religious the exception, we wouldn't have to define ourselves as atheists. I am not labeling myself as a non-vegetarian or apink-unicornist, but somehow I need to label that I am an atheist to make my stance known to others. There is a double standard in that.

A part of the reason why I don't like forums is because it is hard to tell how things are being expressed without tone etc.

Thats why these things are invented:

And also I do have other silly beliefs that aren't necessarily 'religious' so I have always said that I am 'spiritual'.

That may well be the case, but it's a definition not usefull to me at all.

You are "spiritual". What does that mean? You believe in spirits? What is your definition of spirits, and what is the basis for your belief in them?

I belief in some things that are yet to be proven by science..

Is science investigating these things you believe in? If so, who and where?

however, i do see it as a strong possibility that they will
be in the future.

Maybe, but I'm a bit more skeptical about that.
