    The Trinity

    I don't see anywhere wher 2nd Corinthians 13:14 is mentioned. It says: the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you. Of course neither this verse nor any other "proves" the trinity doctrine. It is merely an example from the early days...

    On Monday afternoon little Johnny came home from public school and told his parents they had started beginning each school day with a prayer. Today we prayed for a blessing from our heavenly father. The father clucked with approval. The mother smiled politley. Tuesday Johnny said Today we...

    UU joke of the day/week

    I have heard that this is a true story: At a predominantly black Roman Catholic church someone decided to make the sanctuary more culturally relevant to the members of that parish so they removed the white Jesus from the crucifix over the altar and replaced it with a black Jesus. A member...

    Silly arguments people use against homosexuality

    This is my favorite silly argument: Picture someone taking both index fingers and point them at each other touching the finger tips to each other and say "See? Homosexuality doesn't work! The parts don't fit! Fail! If thats how you're doing it, you're doing it wrong.

    Mystics: Which god and religion is right?

    Why does there have to be only ONE true god or goddess? Maybe there are 6 or 29 or 754 true gods and goddesses working together as a team. Maybe there are conflicts between them and that would explain the conflicts in he world among humans.

    Hyphenated UUs?

    I guess I am UU-Mystical/Eclectic/Humanist due to my swinging back and forth between Humanism and mystical ideas and also being strongly influenced by Christian mythology.

    Sharing the UU faith

    The UUA bookstore has a book titled "Articulating your UU Faith", a workbook on how to share this faith with others on a person to person level. Some UU congregations are using it for a course on how to share the faith. "Uvangelism" is already being done in many places to try to bring more...

    Any Muslims in your congregation?

    Theo Van Gogh is one glaring example of a person who was killed in the name of Islam for questioning the teachings of Islam. I know that Muslims disagree with each other about punishments and some Muslims understanding of Islam is more reasonable than others. There is a hadith that says that...

    Is Unitarian Universalism a dying Faith?

    Incorrect. The Mormons and Seventh Day Adventists are NOT declining as a percentage of the US population. They are growing faster than the US population, thus, they are also growing as a percentage of the population.

    Is Unitarian Universalism a dying Faith?

    Ask the people at the Unitarian Universalist Association. UUism is, like I said, growing in absolute numbers each year that last 20 years or so. That means there are more members of UU congregations now than there were a year ago but our growth is slower than the rate of population growth of...

    Any Muslims in your congregation?

    There aren't any in my congregation but our minister is from India. His biological father is Muslim and his mother, who raised him, is Hindu. He is UU minister who considers himself a Hindu in his personal beliefs. I don't see how Islam, strictly interpreted, could possibly be compatible with...

    Has anyone ever heard of the Unity and the Association of Unity Churches International

    I was involved in Unity off and on for about 13 years. It is a good religion. Unity teaches a doctrine called "pantheism" meaning that God is all that there really is. Prayer for them is not telling God "do this or please do that" but rather bringing you mind and heart into alignment with the...

    Is everyone saved acording to Unitarians

    The usual UU response to this question would be "saved from what?" "who would be saving us?" UUis is a religion focused on this life and making this life and this world the best it can be and less on speculation on what happens after we die.

    Is Unitarian Universalism a dying Faith?

    UUism is growing is absolute numbers, the number of members of our congregations is slightly larger every year the last 20 years or so but our growth is slower than the rate of population growth in the USA. That means we are declining as a percentage of the US population. Out of 1,000 UU...
