When you believe in everything, or nothing, what's God got to do with it?

What I got out of this is that the libs want a church with political discussion, but not all that talk about (gasp) God.


Yeah, they call that a democrat party meeting.

You must be kidding. "Nice" people -- liberals and conservatives alike -- don't mind at all if you refer to "God" in a religious sense.

But, if you want to see people squirm, use the "J-word." THAT's offensive.

I think age is also a factor but my gf is younger than me (she's 27) yet she doesn't have this problem. Could be the fact she is Wiccan and church did mention being welcoming to pagans.

My college professor/state job liberal aunt and uncle attend(ed) a Unitarian Universalist church. When my uncle died I went to the funeral with my conservative parents and conservative brother/sister-in-law and it was a riot as the Wiccans and pagans got up to speak about the memories they will cherish of my uncle. Then they all got up and started dancing, and that's when I decided it was time to take my nieces outside.

I'm searching for a way to describe it. Bizarre doesn't quite cover it. Strange is too nice. Ah ... Liberal, that's the word I was thinking of.

Unitarain Church: No God and Jesus allowed. Lots of gays. Lots of tolerance, except tolerance for Republicans, morals, and family values.

Someone once said that Unitarians believe in one God -- at most.

However, I do like a lot of the work of Emerson, and he was a Unitarian. I guess they've moved since his time.

Did you notice how few times God or the Bible were mentioned in the DU thread? And even then, they're discussed as things to avoid or to be kept in a defined "box". The last post on the DU thread is priceless!

I've been to several funerals of people who were unbelieving secularists. The proceedings are usually quite miserable. By contrast, believers in Christ know their loved one is attending a banquet. No comparison!

Soem people have trouble with the word "God." They're more comfortable if oyu use a synonym like "Spirit."

The irony is that libs like Americans United for the Separation of Church & State spend a lot of energy looking for political speech in conservative churchs so that it may be reported to the IRS. Sounds like all the UUers want to talk about is politics!

I think the libs' general rejection of Biblical Christianity fits into their overall mindset that they're "just too smart" for some things. To them, there's no difference between Christianity and cavemen squatting around a campfire in worship of the moon god. You see, the libs inhabit a higher intellectual plane than Christian believers. Of course, they haven't studied anything to reach their position on this. They just "know".

I went to a wedding in a Unitarian church. I sweat the pastor was a lesbian, mean faced and clip haired she was. There were only a few mentions of God by the pastor during the whole ceremony. I did a little snooping and sightseeing; there was literally not mention of God or Jeses in any of the displays or decor in the church.

Mind you this church has hosted book signings for Jane Fonda and Hillary Klinton.

Here is the problem liberals have with God

REPENTENCE!!!!

If you believe your smarter than God and don't need a Savior...then it doesn't matter what Church you attend ....in the end every knee will bow and confess he is God (per the Bible) liberals can't comprehend this since they live the lie that we should all bow to government.

Without being submissive to the will of God via the Holy Spirit going to church is a waste of time.

Bars are a much better venue for meeting people of the same mindset.

Moral Absolutes Ping.

This you gotta read. It is not satire (apparently) - not the Onion, not Scrappleface (or whatever it's called). But real people with their real opinions and experiences.

Categorize as "know the enemy". Not that such deluded souls are enemies, but their foul philosophy is the enemy. I hope some of the lost people will see their flimsy fake spirituality for what it is one day.

Freepmail me if you want on/off this pinglist.

And the news this week in lib-land:

Hey! Let's spend $80 million bucks to fund some think tanks to come up with an idea.

That's also why they don't like "under God" in the Pledge of Allegience. The idea of subordinating themselves to God is anathema.

Universal Unitarians are not a church. Been to one. It is group therapy disguised as religion.

Old joke, but...

You know what happens when the Unitarians get pissed at you?

They burn a question mark on your lawn.

Several years ago back in South Carolina, my wife--the lovely and talented Foxfire4--exhibited her jewelry at a craft fair at the local UU "church" or "temple" or "hall" or "den of iniquity" or whatever they call it. There were signs all over explaining how Jesus was a "great teacher," no references to the Son of God, of course. At one point a small group of Wonder-bread-white kids got up on stage and sang a ditty about "we all come from Africa." A couple of local Druid-types had a booth set up down from us, selling herbal remedies and massages, and were walking up and down the halls in forest-green hooded cloaks and pentagrams.

We had great fun imagining what would've happened if we'd gotten our PCA church pastor--a physically imposing, wonderful, fantastic, Godly man who is a straight-up no-nonsense conservative evangelical Christian and totally unapologetic about it--and turned him loose in there. Comparisons to Jesus, moneychangers, and the temple abounded.
