This seems to be the anthem for many people in our society.  Perhaps, it is inspired by the words of Jesus recorded in the gospel according to Matthew 7:1, “Judge not that ye be not judged”.  Jesus’ message was not about identification but condemnation.  In other words, don’t condemn (sentence) others or else you will be condemned (sentenced).  The truth is, just because I identify you with the behavior that you keep does not mean I am judging or condemning you.  The Bible does not prohibit me from recognizing who you are, but it does warn me against condemning you because of the condition you are in.
