who knows what a unitarian universalist is?

snapshot · 10-13-2005, 09:21 AM

I don't see the point in choosing a path if I'm the one choosing a path. Like I'd choose a path just so I won't have to choose again? t3h ghey. I think if you choose one path, you choose them all. There's no settling for the best. The best path there is the path of choice. Freedom. Free-will.

WIth that said, I'll check it out. Why not?

Sry for the condescending tone. It's just how I feel about these "paths" or "beliefs" and stuff.

Mescalito · 10-14-2005, 03:45 PM

i got classed 100% as a new-ager..

heres what a new ager believes.. aparrently..

Quote:

Belief in Deity
God is the impersonal life force, consciousness, ultimate truth and reality, the incorporeal, formless cosmic order personified within all people and matter. God is all and all are God.

• Incarnations
Most believe there are no particular incarnations to worship, as all in the universe are embodiments of God.

• Origin of Universe and Life
The universe, life, and matter were not created by God but "are" God. The universe and life emerged out of the creative power of the eternal universal life force.

• After Death
Some believe in continual rebirth--no death--as life is spirit. Some believe that our souls rest for a time before deciding on a new body (or bodies). Heaven and hell are states of consciousness, self-imposed, due to ignorance of God as all.

• Why Evil?
No original sin, no Satan, and no evil. Most believe people make "mistakes" when they are ignorant of the power of goodness, which is God, within themselves and others. Some believe evil is perpetuated through accumulation of past-life wrongs and spiritual ignorance.

• Salvation
Salvation lies in the realization of oneness with the impersonal life force. Awareness can be heightened through methods that induce altered states of consciousness, e.g., hypnosis, meditation, music, drugs. Spiritual "tools" include crystals, tarot cards, amulets, channeling, fortunetellers and psychics. Some believe the salvation of humanity will occur when a critical mass is reached, when people converge in experiencing their oneness with God and with each other. This will bring a New World Order or new Planetary Order, resulting in oneness of civilization and one-world government, peace, and harmony.

• Undeserved Suffering
Suffering is the result of greed, hatred, and spiritual ignorance in a person's, or humanity's, past lifetimes, which returns as suffering (karma). Suffering is sometimes viewed as occurring for a specific purpose, to further spiritual growth and learn a life lesson. Suffering is also seen as illusory, in that it results from attachment to bodily pleasure and pain, and only the universal life force within, God, truly exists.

• Contemporary Issues
Abortion is not condemned, as there is no official doctrine. Generally, adherents are supportive of a woman's right to choose abortion.

Unitarian Universalism was 92%

Strange.. wonder how many other tokers and non-tokers share similar belief patterns!? Maybe it is a good sign for the future.

funny that you would say that, because i know a few uus, and they are always extremely preachy about how their religion is by far superior etc etc,

not saying that you are doing that, its just weird that the uus i know have that same attitude about their reliigon, not just a pride in it, but a sense that it is definitevly better than all other religions....i dunno, i personally think all religion is an unquantifiable thing, you cant really say which is best because they;re all based on faith...within that, a religion that urges you to commit felonious acts for example, would clearly be bad, but mostly its about personal opinion...

many of the uus' i know are very pushy about their religion, at least till i set em straight

... it does have some interesting aspects to it tho...

born and raised unitarian universalist, been through yruu, and yac, plus I worked at ferry beach last year. that was r0x0r. yeah, if you're 14-18 join yruu. get active. go to cons. if you're chill you'll be very openly accepted. plus it's easy to get massages (and sometimes more) from hot hippie chicks and a lot of people drink and smoke weed. yeah cons are the shit. also yeah unitarian universalism is by far the best religion. ya'll.

Mahayana Buddhism (94%)
Hinduism (92%)
Liberal Quakers (88%)
