Do you mean Unitarian Universalist? They seem to be a group of people devoted to good teaching taken from all aspects of life (including various religions), with their whole worldview built around a liberal, tolerant, humanitarian ideology.quote: Source: Unitarian Universalist Association Not sure why they have churches for that type of belief structure, but I've seen stranger things than this. ------------------ [This message has been edited by nfektious (edited May 20, 2006).] |

just this week my non christian (who despite being an atheist actually believes in God and is angry at Him, taking the moral upper hand accusing God of not being good) brother "out law" (as in he is not married to my sister in law went to a unitarian church, where they had a thing about the birth of baby jesus, budha and confucious.. When researching this church he had wanted to attend i found out alot about its beliefs and history, and its definately cultic. I read a sermon from the local pastor here, where it talked about the 'garden of eden' myth, it was comparing orthodox christianity with the 'liberal christianity', and it said orthodox christianity said the eating of the fruit is sinful, the fall, original sin, but they "liberal christians" or unitarians believe it was more a fall upward, and the beginning of man's enlightenment , making his own decisions for his faith and religion.. heresy, and evil to the core sadly. ------------------ |

quote: wrong. totally and completely. Buddhism is first split into two large sects, then there are of course different styles within those sects. these holds true with other religions also. the reason why there are so many different denominations of christianity on the SAT stuff, as you observed, is because Christianity, along with humanism and atheism(recognized as religions) is the dominant relgion and so more attention is paid to it. ------------------ |

basicly unitarian universalist is predicated upon the idea that man is inherently good and has no need of a savior, or of God's help in any significant way and that man can solve all of his own problems through self enlightenment. It is heavily tied up with the "progressive" movement that was very influential in the late 19th century and early 20th.. it played a heavy role in shaping much of our modern society and modern conceptions.. especially because the unitarian progressives basicly designed and built the public school system according to their ideas. ------------------ |

Yes, your computer and home were here all along and not built by humans. Angels bring us vaccines once a year and our farms would be useless were it not for the Leprechaun Harvest Crew. Humans are so worthless and rotten to the core and stupid fat ugly dumb. God would start over his code but then if we were perfect he'd have nothing funny to watch on weekdays. Oh yes, and your theory on why there are so many sects of Christianity, and not many of other religions, it doesn't help that the Bible can be interpreted almost any way you want to read it. |

This is kinda off topic, but i didn't know where else to post this, and i didn't want to start a new thread. Benny, (message icon!!) where in Kentucky do you live? I live like 10 miles from Louisville in Indiana. I wondered this when I was scrolling through some old threads from last year trying to find something, when I saw a thread that had a picture of you in it. They mentioned the kentucky atlas so I wondered if you were in kentucky (why else would you have a kentucky atlas!!) and i checked your location, and i saw you were, so i just wanted to know how far away from me you are.. just wondering!! ------------------ |
