it sounds like you're not welcome if you believe in anything conservative. Like the opposite of most churches. I don't like either kind. its not based on a search or truth its based on a search for politics.

I'm a little confused... To be a Unitarian Universalist can you believe whatever you want?

The fourth of the seven UU Principles is "A free and responsible search for truth and meaning." And, as for me, this search for truth is something that has made me feel good. Although not always easy, it was a journey of liberation.

Plucking out some things and replacing them with others is a necessary part of the process of seeking truth. We discard what is not true and what does not work and replace it with what is hopefully a better idea or hypothesis, which, in turn, must be tested.

The 3rd UU principle is infact: WE BELIEVE in a free and responsible search for truth and meaning. UU's do not "pluck out some things and replace them with others". We simply develope our faith our entire lives, by choosing to believe what resonates with our personal experiences. Religion should benefit all the people in the community, not give religious sanction to the brutal male elite. Which sadly is the most common outcome of mainstream organized religion.

I agree with you all about the wording of "church" and how it doesn't really fit with Unitarian Universalism. Probably because alot of ppl feel the word church has a negative connotation to it, perhaps related to extremist religions. I am Unitarian and where I live, we call our hall a "fellowship" instead of a church.

I agree with you. however there is truth as well as falsehood in every system of beliefs cymbeli, that is what we're to figure out. keep what is worth keeping, and with a breath of kindness, like the poet D.M.Craik said "blow the rest away."

The Golden Rule is 4me the truth that embodies the world's major religions. Go n search it out on the web. hugs!

Hi guys! Sorry to ask but do any of you know a UU community here on the Philippines? I would be delighted to know. Please inform me either by response or PM. Thanks and warm regards!

I think you're right. There's no indefference them. Metaphorical Jew and Samaritan are accepted and embraced as they are. No religious fanaticism, politics and extremism. But Love with every other positive virtue. Really a foretaste of Heaven.
