[Fishface]

[Jabberwocky]

But what is a Unitarian Universalist - besides the obvious answer - me

& why are there emoticons lurking next to each %age ?

Last question first, VBS as set up here makes a % followed by ) an emoticon.

Unitarian-Universalist are very liberal church that came about from the merger of two previous churches. They don't have much doctrine except that divinity is present through out everything and that everyone is free to come to their own conclusions about theology and ethics.

The Unitarian side was historically more concerned with the position that there isn't a trinity. My experience is that services can focus on anything but are often focused on 19th century American Transcendentalists like Emerson an Thoreau.

 

[B9]

^ Ah right thankee whoops sorry %) %)


I often wonder about quite how these things are structured & the influence of the person who sets the values.%)

 

[neonads]

Seriously, if opiate3 can score high on most of the monotheistic faiths while I score high on most of the non-mono's, but we both get >90% UU - WTF!

They don't have much doctrine except that divinity is present through out everything

And I answered "Not applicable" to all of the divinity questions...

Aside from that, this thread is 100% %)

24. Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant (10%)
25. Eastern Orthodox (9%)
26. Islam (9)
27. Roman Catholic (9)

did you guys hear about that unitarian church that was shot up recently for its liberal views?

 

[neonads]

Answering "none of the above" or "not applicable" for all questions yields:

1. Nontheist (100%)
2. Secular Humanism (100%)
3. Neo-Pagan (50%)

With 0% for all others. Results were the same with all "high" and all "low" certainty.

Guess it's not rigged, UU just scores high on most questions because it allows so many views - except utter rejection of divinity. Begs the question, "What is the purpose of Unitarian Universalism then?"

Stemming the tide of non-belief?
