Labels

Everywhere I've been lately has discussed labels. Not always using the same term, but the same idea.

When are they okay--are they ever? Are they cut and dry, black and white? Are they every changing?

How can one person read a book and see it be God inspired and another person read the book and be so adametely against it that they decide the author may not even be a true Christian?

How can a person define a great parent based on a list?

I personally love labels. I find it interesting to see just how one label is defined so differently.

I read once "Christians can't be crunchy." The person who wrote it meant--a Christian won't recycle, won't eat organic, won't use more natural products. My immediate thought was "how can a Chrstian not be crunchy?" I didn't reply to the poster, but I realized that we had the same idea of crunchy, just different ideas of what makes a Christian.
