ThrUU the Looking Glass
At services the other week, the Rev. Kate Lore gave a fascinating sermon titled The Religious Case Against Belief. (Available in .pdf format here, look for July 26.)
Now, I've yet to read it over to get the nuances I no doubt missed, but the message I got from this was that we should not allow details of theology to divide us. Instead, we should be united by the universal goal of religion: to live well, to love others, and act with kindness and compassion always. That religion is - or should be - about gathering together in this common cause, and in allowing thological minutia to divide us, we forget our commonalities, to our detriment.
