Boxy Nines19 Wait, this religion may have some purpose. If my calculations are correct, all those fluffy fwiccans following SRW like she's God/dess are actually UUs. If this is true, we can say this to their faces. Commence Operation Bwa-ha-ha-ha. Well, the essence of UU is fluffy eclecticism. Wait, "fwiccan"? Is that because they're fwiccan cwazy?
Tweety might say so, but I use it to mean "fake Wiccan". |

Cyrus the Elder Gho the Girl I met one who was supposed to lead a spirituality group at the GAGV youth. Apparently the youth facilitator thought it'd be a great idea. The guy she found was rather presumptive. I found his beliefs rather insulting. How so, if I may ask ninja |

Boxy Okay, so if you aren't familiar with the prospect of Universal Unitarians, I highly suggest that you read up on their basic tenets. Now, my question is whether they are too liberally-minded. I mean, they kinda through out the Baby Jesus with the bathwater-turned-into-wine. The basic theology rejects the divinity of Christ, the reality of any miracles, and so on and so forth.
The basic theology does not reject these concepts. It is silent on them.
Quote: Essentially, it is the organization for humanism while still retaining the trappings of communal worship.
I briefly flirted with the idea of joining the UU and this is, essentially, how I explained it. I agree.
Quote: eMy question is, does drawing from too large of a body of mythos -- from literally any religion -- does it detract from the depth of meaning and study?
Why would it? Their base message, essentially, is Agape and that all persons are called to follow this regardless of nation, religion, etc. They draw from any work or religion, Locke or the Bible, to back the message.
In the congregation I attended, the service worked in two parts that were deemed 'Hours.' First hour, the minister (or guest speaker) would speak on some topic (and the lectures were actually rather good). Second hour, the congregation would break off into 'small groups.' One group would be dedicated to discussing the lecture, another current events, and the others tended to vary. These small groups offered opportunity for reflection and feedback from others on one's spiritual growth.
Quote: What think you, gentle liberals?
Eh, the congregation near me seemed to just be there to masturbate to how wonderful they were and how backwards everyone else was. Well, not everyone was like that, but too many for comfort. A lot of the actions, especially on the 'Green Committee,' were not done in efforts to make the church green but rather to be able to say that they made the church green. This is by the admittance of the Head of the Green Committee. But I've encountered the same in Christian churches; it is a fault of humans, not the UU. |
