If I label someone an 'atheist' or a 'Christian' or a 'Muslim' etc (depending on my level of growth) I would then slot them into my mind's idea of what those things are just as I slotted the apple into it's mental pigeon hole. So that's the bad kind of labelling I guess
This is labelling + defiled emotion. Mere labelling is harmless.
As for the purpose of this thread, my intention is mere inquiry, nothing more, nothing less.
