I think it has helped me realise I need to definitely get rid of any kind of labels about my own personal beliefs.
I feel that as long as I need to label myself, I am still a bit "addicted" to some beliefs I don't resonate with.
Eventually, I'll simply be a human living on this planet also-called Earth, and that's all.
Freed from labels.

It is a wonderful environment to test the self with what it actually KNOWS and UNDERSTANDS. To throw the self into the Lions pit is a challenge indeed. It has helped me immensely. I love Yahoo!! LOL.

I had my husband check just now and couldn't find any labels anywhere affixed to my person. What you need to realize that the terms that define us as people and our beliefs are not labels. What another person thinks of you and the terms they use..those are labels. I have discovered from this venue that I know and have passion about my faith alot more than I ever thought I did but its also taught me that I still have so far to go. There is nothing simple about you or any of us..we are all complex creatures so incredibly unique and special that there aren't nor could there be one simple term that defines you or I..but several...mostly though the term I would choose above all others is "believer". That's just me though. Love in Christ, ~J~ <><

I have learned that I do need a label, not what I call myself but the label of how I live my life and relate to others as Catholic Christian. I need to show others in my daily walk the source of my being, my faith and my joy and happiness coming from Jesus Christ.

I think staying positive keeps me going with all the negative
things going on around me in the news, I must keep reading
things that will build myself esteem up, I addicted to
carbs so I have to make the changes so Iam not and then try
and take care of myself so that I can be a happier person. And
even if I have to fight back pain I will learn to live with it.with
out taking it out on my friends and family because Iam feeling
lousy. you can not lable me crazy or skitso because
there is no proof in that.

That I am not wrong on my way , that I have chosen correct religion.
That I should be flexible to people with other opinions
That at the same time to be able to protect my religion from ignorant stupid people
That I need to go to another section after reaching level3

That I'm not on an island being an atheist.
People need to laugh at themselves more. Life is too short.
Religion and politics are volatile subjects.
Actaully I've learned about myself.....Good and bad. Hopefully correcting the bad.

It Has Taught Me about What You Believe in isn't really what people are believing,everyone has its own religion and beliefs,you cannot force them into it,religion may be good as it provides a form of mental support,and stress relieve.

The thing which I have learned from this section is to never,ever believe what have you heard until you see it with your own eyes.Because I saw many people out here fabricating false stories and quoting Quran as a source.

I don't like labels either. i prefer saying I'm a Christian rather than a Protestant. But I definitely know that I'm not a Catholic or an Orthodox so....

well r u a good human on 1st hand. if u r then my brother and sisters u r a good muslim too.
do u help the needy?
do u prevent unnecessary cussin about som1s religion and beleifs?
do u do good deeds?
if u r doing all that then u r without a doubt even bigger than v muslims. just labelling urself with religion is not enuf. u should learn to live upto god's xpectations as well.
surah Al-kafirun from Quran
i do not worship what u worship
nor do u worship wat i worship.
i shall never worship wat u worship
neither u worship wat i worship.
u hav ur own religion and i have mine"
its haram in islam to forcefully convert some1. my god does not allow that. and me being convinced by som1 more than Allah. not till my last breath.
