paganism

U-Us do not refer to themselves as Christian, (or maybe some do) at least according to their somewhat vague FAQ.

[Salvation]

Sounds confusing. LOL!

[BibChr]

Well, you know what they say.

Question: What do you get when you cross a Unitarian and a Jehovah's Witness?

Answer: Someone who goes door to door, for no particular reason.

Unitarian motto:

"somebody loves you"

"We're not sure who it is, but we're pretty sure he/she/it loves you."

ROTFLOL!

[JWinNC]

you got it

[buckeyesrule]

***Unitarian motto: "somebody loves you"***

I always thought it was "let us gather together...and not pray." LOL!

My mom is a Unitarian - many years a leftie - and she's starting to get mighty sick of them, especially since September 11. She knows we're at war, and not one we went looking for but in her church there's a disdain for the military and she's an Army brat - lost a brother and nephew in the line of duty. She's pro-abortion with limits and is unnerved by the rabid whole nine months choice-is-a-sacrament line. The homosexual men she's known have been wildly promiscuous and have died of AIDS - gay marriage doesn't make much sense to her. She put up some brochures for a social program she was interested in - literacy - and was told they conflicted with the church's aesthetics.

I'm not sure why she stays...I guess finding a new church is hard at her age...I just pray she finds Jesus.

UU's only dogmas are abortion on demand and gay marriages.

[Tarkin]

Don't forget "Abortion and salvation for everybody".

[Tarkin]

ROFLMAO

[RobbyS]

You mean they have a bar and smoking lounge?

[RobbyS]

The irony is that they idolize choice, but do not allow their members to choose.

[I'm not sure why she stays...I guess finding a new church is hard at her age...]


Maybe I'm too pessimistic, but I find that people get too comfortable belonging to a group even when that group starts to do things which are less than desirable or wise. And the members just stay and put up with it.

Except the Unitarian Church has been like this for at least forty years - it's my mom who's changed.

In Romania there are still serious Unitarians in the original sense - believing in God and in Jesus as God's son but not God. My mother's church used to support them when Eastern Europe opened up but they seem to have lost interest.

Everyone seems to think that I am nuts when I say that the Unitarians are not a church but are instead a political organization. This sermon proves my point!

They can not tell you what God is or who He is or where He is, but they all know everything about global warming and abortion.

[Between the Lines]

I was just telling someone this morning that the Unitarian Universalist Church is little more than a political organization pretending to be a religion...

Amen

We believe in the inherent worth and dignity of every person.” Every person. Not just people of wealth. Not just Americans. Not just people with white skin. Every person.

Yeah, I was one of those people that believed that inherent worth was solely a quality that rich white Americans possessed and no one else. What a cartoon leftist this chick is.

[TradicalRC]

I find it fascinating that somebody in this country made a movie about a team that loses.

Because we all know that Hollywood is chock full of flag-waving jingoists.

[bonfire]

I says "We are Christians but we aren't Christians but we kinda are but not really"
