Well, I'll say this. I've read over all the documentation provided through this forum, and then some, and interpreted it into my own views on what Unitarian Universalism is. If I am correct in assuming so, then perhaps it may just be what I'm looking for.
Unitarian Universalism is a belief centered around all other beliefs. It is a religion for the open minded and optimistic that, instead of believing in this or your damned for eternity, pull the good from all religions to aid in daily living. It's a place for those who have their own twist on religion, but base their twists on teachings from other religions.
If this is wrong, please correct me. I'm very curious, and very interested in learning more of the Unitarian beliefs. Based on the beliefs that the bible is indeed a more or less true account of what may have happened, I use that to guid me in my own faith and beliefs. Such as yes, I believe Jesus existed. Do I believe he was the son of God? Yes... but this is because of the beliefs that I have, not because the bible says it. My belief is somewhat of a different twist on HOW he is the son of God. But none the less, I believe that the historical accounts are accurate, however distorted they may have become over the many, many years and translations.
However, I could go on and on about that forever... heh. I more want to discover if I'm right about what Unitarian Universalism is, and the system of beliefs. Once I get that cleared up, I can be a happy camper. Thanks for your time.
