The church focuses on a universal moral wisdom rather than a particular brand of truth, this is why there is no intolerant disagreements among the followers of the church.

Unspeakably amazing.

" Let us commit ourselves to living our theology, let us celebrate a reasonable and passionate faith , the faith that encourages to moral questioning, this work is difficult, and the discoveries will be the different for each of us but we will always remember that our quality is the ability to love, to touch the divine "

that part made me cry.

Jesus' central message was "love they neighbour".Therefore, how can UU be false? Surely God is overjoyed by anyone who finds his way to Him no matter how they got there? Anyone who claims to know the whole truth should read the story of the blind men and the elephant.

Not all Christians are biblical literalists. Many believe that wisdom can be learned from the bible, without having to adhere to the dogma.

All Sacred Texts are subject to a margin of error. Embracing that fact, we maintain its usefulness as a "guide to right action" : )

higgles - I agree that this video primarily appeals to emotion, but emotion is central to religion. UU is predominantly humanistic -- religious humanism as opposed to secular humanism. It *is* a big tent with regard to spiritual backgrounds and beliefs. But I do not agree that emotional appeals necessarily invoke the "false idolatries" you cite. Know that one of the 7 principles is the "free and *responsible* search for truth and meaning." I have found most UUs to be very reasonable people. :)

I found the 'appeals' rational and friendly. Not at all emotional. Also, what do you mean to 'invoke idolatries of the mind and spirit?' - Mike

You don't need the Bible to be a moral person. Our 7 principles guide us in much of what we do. They include justice, equity, compassion, respect for the inherent worth and dignity of all people, peace and liberty ... Unitarians have been some of the greatest social activists throughout recent history. Our morality comes from the awareness of our interdependence with all beings, that "none are saved until all are saved." As I said, you don't need the Bible to understand that.

We don't speak out against abortion, but we comfort those in pain. We encourage same-sex marriage as a faction of equal rights. Our minister's visit us, and our sick. They are the very kindest and compassionate pastors.

We do not have a theology, we believe that each person has a right to find the truth in their own way, even if we disagree with them.

U.U is not about spreading the word about one way, its about sharing our induvidual journeys with others.
