    Is anybody here on this forum? It would be interesting to have a discussion, or even just a chat. May I wish you a good year in 2008.

    Agree or Disagree!

    Instead of debating the nature of God here, I am inclined to ask you to explain more fully what do you mean by Love? Is Love a caring thing? Is it partisan? Is it detached and allows people to make choices? Is it demanding, and requires obedience like some paternalistic parent? Is it a...

    Death - is it the ultimate end

    Yes I do believe there is some kind of spiritual existence after death, not necessarily the ones taught by religions. Although not making great claims, I have had some minor experiences that lead me to believe this.

    My Journey

    No offence, but I don't really perceive a connection between being a UU and having an abusive background. Good wishes in your personal search.

    The Coffee House - the UU Fellowship Thread

    That quote, lilithu, originally posted by Powder 21, it rings so true. I have practised it with my son. I have salvaged that philosophy of "giving an option to choose for yourself, to learn" from the wreckage created by our past family generations insistences and in fact, pseudo-religious...

    A Theology of the Cross

    No theologian here, but it is perfectly simple to see that almost any reasonable human being can usually take responsibility for his/her actions, particularly in the matter of causing pain to others. If I shout at someone vulnerable and cause them pain, I can stop shouting, whether I am angry...

    Expect the Sacred

    As a UU I really prefer to make a differentiation between the mundane or secular, and the sacred. Otherwise one ends up with every act of one's life (lining up at the bank, tying one's shoelaces, tending to take on a pseudo significance - not to say they do not matter). Prayer or meditation for...

    That could be, lilithu. Samosas are just the sort of tasty snack a street vendor might sell.

    Born jewish

    Hi, in answer to your question, I would just like to know a jewish person better and to learn a bit about the jewish point of view. To be frank I am not interested in becoming involved religiously, my wish is more social. I was brought up eclectic in my religion and that suits me.

    As a UU member of Faith of the Free, I would like to personally recommend it as a stimulating site. uufreespirit puts up some great topics for discussion, and there is room for debate and chat and different viewpoints. (see his comment above).:yes:

I am looking for a jewish friend who is not dogmatic or judgemental and may be willing to become an email penpal...

    How did you "restart" the church year?

    Our church in Toronto also had a water ceremony. Furthermore, we started in September with our new settled Minister, a welcome newcomer to our congregation. We anticipate both new things and old things happening under his leadership.

    Your impressions of Paganism?

    I read the PanGaia magazine just to get a sense of what Paganism is about. I have to say that with my judaeo-christian background, it is not for me. Everyone has their choice tho, and if paganism is it, then let it be so. Being Earth-centred is a wonderful thing, especially since our Mother...

    Tea is a good drink, it is now beginning to rival coffee as tea shops spring up and the many varieties of the leaf are promoted. So tea's good!

    Process Theology

    PantaRhea - I must have missed out on something here. Would you be prepared to say more about Process Theology for our edification?:confused: I know our Summer Minister spoke of it in a sermon.
