I Love Unitarian Universalists (Deist, mysticism, beliefs, church, atheist)

I am humbled by the beautiful statements made here and embarrassed because I know I don't live up to the comments made or to the UU standard 100% of the time.

Nobody lives up to the standards they wish to follow 100% of the time, so I wouldn't worry about it. You seem to be doing a fine job representing Unitarian Universalism, in my opinion.

I'll echo Maize's sentiment that all of this admiration while deeply appreciated is embarrassing, which is why I have not properly thanked yall for the nice words. Part of me wants to warn yall that there are UUs who don't live up to our ideals, because I don't want you to visit a UU congregation and be unpleasantly surprised. We can be intolerant, unfortunately. We can be intolerant of conservatives/republicans. We can be intolerant of Christians, depending on the congregation. In our zeal for social justice we sometimes commit the same "sin" of overgeneralizing. But the good thing about us is that if you point out to a UU how (s)he is being intolerant (s)he will usually stop to consider it. So I think we're for the most part a great bunch (thank you very much!) so long as everyone knows we're not perfect.

And standing_alone, I loved your response to Maize.

That's very true, but there's always bad with the good. All I can say is from my own experience is that UUs rock!

Why, thank you.
