...... except in UU'ism.
In Unitarian Universalism we are encouraged to liberally seek God as we find him; to take our own spiritual journey. We sit in a congregation, where someone like myself, who primarily holds Dharmic beliefs, can sit next to a fellow UUist who may believe in 90% of Christian tenets, let's say apart from the Trinity or another aspect.
So to go back to my topic title - Is UU'ism not the perfect religion?.... because it is wholly syncretic; you can take inspiration from every religion or spiritual practice and build your own set of practices that suit your true beliefs perfectly.
I was wondering what others thought of this?
UU'ists are a tiny group in the world. Why do so few people take the logical route to 'designing their own religion' though UU'ism? .......... Do you see it as somehow 'cheating'? ......... Are UU'ists just Deists by another name?
I'd love to hear people's views on this.
If we could live in a perfect world, We would.
If we could have everything be perfect, It would be perfect.
But we can't, Though that won't stop us from trying to create a Utopian world, Or a religion that can be anything.
Who can follow with a religion that is not constant, That can be anything. That somewhat steals all the 'good parts' of other religions, And pervert it with human ideals and other religious ideals.
You become your own God, Creating your own religion. Each individual gets their own.
The world doesn't work that way, Why should one expect religion too or even a God or Gods too?
I'm pretty sure most religions are clear when they say our God is the only God. Don't worship any others, Yet UU's do that regardless.
Anyway,
It's by no means perfect.
To me, It's actually the opposite.
But as I like to say, To each their own.
If it suits you, Then I'm not going to criticize your decision.
