[nosuchthingasgod]

The word "heresy" comes from the Koine Greek "hairesis" meaning either "a choice of beliefs" or "a faction of believers", or "a school of thought". Heresy is nothing more than any nonconformist view within any field by others within that field who are convinced that their view is "orthodox" or "correct". Perhaps you might not of known this, but Christians were labelled heretics by the Romans and the Jews. Even within Christianity, Catholics have called Protestants heretics, and vice versa.

was that parade all for UU> or just ad?

[NarakusDemon89]

It was just the Thanksgiving Day Parade in Times Square, but the commercial was the important part of the video.

I don't understand how you think relligions that contradict each other like can all be right. are you agnostic or what?

[hyugabob]

im an agnostic uu! =)

[Timerider3]

Its not that they are all correct in their details or that there isn't a truth--its about having the humility to understand that we, as humans, don't know everything and don't really know the whole truth. Its for this reason that we learn from each other even though we have pretty diverse beliefs. I am a christian UU but just two weeks ago I got something really cool out of a buddhist UU who is a member of my church give a sermon. PM me if you have questions--I'd be happy to answer!

Makes me proud to be a Unitarian Universalist! Oh....And did I just hear the death rattle from the throat of traditional Christianity?....'bout time!

Unitarian Universalism is heresy. You cannot interpret the truth to your liking. You cannot make your own path to salvation. Only Jesus Christ is the path to salvation. These people will realize they were deceived, perhaps when it will be too late.

[Lucretius58]

hahaha! good one!

[MikaylaStarstuff]

The root of the word heresy comes from the greek word for choice. A heretic is someone who judges for him/herself what is true, and I decide what I will believe as true based on my experience and reason. I am proud to be a heretic!

[ResistMaitreya]

believing something that is false is true doesn't make it anymore true.

[MikaylaStarstuff]

I can say the same about your belief in Jesus Christ being the only path to salvation. I believe this is false. And I see no reason whatsoever to believe otherwise.

Huzzah!

[tessabianca]

I am a heretic. I do interpret the bible to my liking and I have made my own spiritual path. Not you or anyone else can stop me :) I thank GOD for that!

[floridaredhead]

"Heretic" is not necessarily a "bad" word, you know.

I'm a UU and proud of it.

[redsox24b]

everybody matters... funny how people actually believe their religion will save them from this myth hell.. how many muslims are there in the world? atheists? buddhist? etc... if there is a god, would he burn these people in hell for being born into a certain faith? shame people still believe in eternal damnation. I ain't religious.. but UU sends a great message of peace.. something other religions can't.say.

[tessabianca]

Thanks!
