t’s the same with religion: I just don’t get it. There may be a God or—I was raised Unitarian
Ahh, that explains so much.

Q: How many Unitarian Universalists does it take to change a light bulb?
A: ...well, first you'd have to know whether it's a fluorescent, an incandescent, or a halogen bulb, but even then you may have made a false assumption because not all Unitarian Universalists necessarily even find lightbulb-oriented illumination useful, or even believe in Electricity or the Electric Company.

ROFLMAO - My uncle was a Unitarian. I'm assuming based on your joke you knew him!

Seriously, this guy needs to get a life. If the 'scientists' are all up in arms, why not make more of an effort to actually prove science instead of trying to turn everybody in the country into a 'unitarian.'
Isn't Barry Lynn a Unitarian? Or was that Universal Life (the mail order people)?

He equates those who believe the Bible with those who believe in magic. He has no credibility.

There are two things that bug me about Unitarianism.
The first is that it is no longer a religion, but more of a political discussion club that meets on Sundays.
The second is that these folks don't see the Bible as an authoritative document, yet they expect me to not only live by it as if it is, but live by their interpretation of it. If not, I'm a greedy warmongering fundamentalist.

No, didn't know your uncle....but did you know the first few years of Charles Darwin's life, his mother to him to church?
The Unitarian Church on High Street, in Shrewsbury.
Wonders never cease.

I especially enjoyed his comment about how the poll numbers wouldn't have been different in the Middle Ages. He should move to Sweden and leave us hicks alone.

Honestly, I'm pretty sure he is a Freeper, but well hidden.

I once heard Unitarians described as "atheists who are hedging their bets."
I laughed that day.

If the 'scientists' are all up in arms, why not make more of an effort to actually prove science instead of trying to turn everybody in the country into a 'unitarian.' Well, after the last 400 years of technological advances I think most people by now SHOULD accept the power of the scientific method.
The fact is scientific thinking has had more success explaining things than theology.

Some people just let their emotions, in this case hate, get in the way.
