And somehow I wound up reading a "KJV is the only God-inspired English version" website.
ARRRRGGGHHHHH!!!!!!
My poor head hurts.
Oh, by the way, POD is Satanic. So are the New International PERVersion and the Church of Christ. And, um, the Alexandrian Greek manuscript is corrupt. And it is apparently of the utmost importance that the words "impute" and "propitiation" are included in the Bible. Oh, and since "James" is the English word for the Hebrew "Jacob", the validity of the KJV is proved by Psalm 147:19. Because it has nothing to do with the Hebrew poetic style (of repetition of concepts) and the fact that Jacob is a synonym for Israel.
And although Ronald Reagan consulted with astrologers, since he liked KJV, he's a swell guy. And it evidently doesn't matter that King James was gay.
Also, atheist support for the KJV=a sign that it is good. Atheist support for anything else=a sign that it inspired by SATAN!!!!!!!!!!!!
People who speak nonsense and claim to be doing the work of God frustrate me.

P.S. Helping the poor is communist. The important thing is to bring up hell at least four times in every sentence. It's inside a volcano, in case you were wondering.

Historically, I've spent a lot of my time trying to avoid being labeled as anything. The reason for that is because when people give you a label they change the way they treat you and what they do around you based on that label. Because of this labelling tendency, it becomes very hard to get to know people as they really are, which makes it difficult for me to see if I really like someone or if I just like an image they're projecting.
The downside to my generally undercover persona is that I tend to suppress my own personality to an alarming degree when I'm around people I don't know, or else I switch into a casually jokey version of myself, which isn't who I really am.
The other big danger is that I risk losing who I really am into an "I refuse to be labeled" persona, which would suck, because even though I have some bad traits that I don't like about myself, it still beats being deliberately odd to get a reaction.
One area where I have a lot of troubles with labelling is with the term "Christian". As far as my beliefs and my conduct go, I pretty much follow orthodox Christian beliefs. The problem is the baggage that goes with the label Christian. When I say that I'm a Christian, people start drawing pictures of me in their minds based on what they think a generalized "Christian" acts like. I know they do this, because I do it myself to other Christians. When I'm around other Christians, I find myself suppressing things I would normally say based on the fact that I assume that they are going to hold me to a different standard than Joe Agnostic is. So they aren't really dealing with the real me, with my own odd collection of beliefs (some probably more Christian than the generic "Christian" beliefs, at least in my opinion, though I dare not say it around them), faults, and conflicts. They're dealing with "Scott the Christian", who smiles his way through every sermon and never says or even thinks anything offensive.
And presumably, they're doing something similar on their end, which means I end up thinking, "Wow, this person is boring...just like every other Christian I've ever met." And they, in all likelihood, are doing the same thing.
So when I'm around non-Christians, I tend to avoid mentioning my own beliefs until it seems like the right time. That way they can, ideally, get to know me as a real person and not as a "Christian". The problem there is that I wind up deliberately acting as un-"Christian" as possible in order to make them like me and realize that I'm not like all those other Christians.
And therein lies the problem. By this time, I'm so ashamed of the label that I end up perpetuating the very stereotype I myself am trying to escape. Instead of saying that Christians aren't like the stereotype, what I end up saying is that they are, but I'm not like the rest of them. I'm the different Christian.
From what I've heard, people of all kinds of marginalized groups (gays, ethnic minorities, etc.) have to deal with the same conflict of "I'm not like all those other...". Which is partially good, because it's pretty sad when the individual ceases to be individual and instead become a number added to a group's tally. But it's also sad when they become ashamed of the people who hold the same beliefs as they have just because of a label.
So if people are going to label me anything, they can label me a Christian, because that's what I actually am, but they should probably do their homework before deciding that they can judge how I'm going to respond to everything they say based on that label. And they shouldn't be afraid to be themselves. I don't have a right to judge anybody.
