Always good to have dialogue, and glad there’s a few other things we agree on as well. And also to you

I wish your friend Jeremy had written instead “and in the Church catholic and orthodox “ 😉.

Yes people love to label. Cheap and effective, unloving and shortsighted and thank God, short lived.

Labels are just ways to control. Control of others is empire minded. Gangster minded. Abusive parent minded. As hate is relative of murder, is my point. Plus, I find that I love being disagreeable. Often the best starting point

Ha, I think we can assume orthodox is involved here, given we’re talking about avoiding heresy!

I think I’d push back a little on labels. While I agree that they can be used for hate and this is bad, they can be used to add clarity - which is good. I have lots of labels (dyslexic for example) and I’m glad they exist

Motive is always the key thing
