Question

thank-you lady katheryn
I dont know much about uu myself

so tyvm for posting that!!

Answer 1

Your question is like asking people who eat at Denny's what they think of IHOP, or Chevrolet owners what they think of Fords. Most Unitarian Universalists are not Christians. Most Christian denominations think we UUs are wrong. Most of us UUs think the Christians are narrow-minded.

I maintain a small but witty web site for a UU congregation:

http://www.stanuu.org

It has pages for beliefs and FAQ. If you are curious about us, ask us, not the Christians. Our pages are straight from the horse's mouth, so to speak. Any straighter and they would be wet with little green flecks on them.

Answer 2

I think they reflect reality far more realistically than any other faith and that they can offer a faith community to those who have trouble believing some of the Christian doctrines that are hard to accept in the postmodern era.

I do believe that the mythology - the rituals, stories, art, and such - that comprises their path is far less robust than other time-tested religions like Christianity. While these may not reflect reality as accurately in fact, I believe our psyches are far more in tune with a mythologized language for the experiece of the real than we are to a DIY hodgepodge language.

It works for some people who are spiritually advanced and willing to do a grat deal on their own. I believe that most people are not like that and need something more rich and less pared down.

Answer 3

I know little of the beliefs, but the members I have met have been outstanding human beings. More than one evangelical Christian who has been mistreated and discriminated against by their church has joined UU.

I'm not saying that makes it right, just that perhaps that should be food for thought.

Answer 4

You mean Unitarian Universalists??

Christians can be UU's as well as all faiths...though more liberal believers typically join this group....primarily b/c the entire purpose of the UU's is to state that we don't have all the awswers, but that we are all going to unite to seek out those answers and to find the common thread that runs through all religions as well as all people.

Answer 5

I have no issue with it..Did you know that 10% of the Unitarianism Universalism concider themselves Christian.

Three children were talking about their religions.

"I'm a Catholic," said one, "And our symbol is the cross."

"I'm Jewish," said the second, "And our symbol is the Star of David."

The third child said, "I'm a Unitarian Universalist and our symbol is a candle in a cocktail glass!"

Answer 6

Unitarian Universalism believes that each and each faith has the actuality interior it, and that each and each individual could carry on with the path that they maximum like. they conflict for freedom of religion, ideals, homosexuality, gender, and so on. and that they are announcing you need to understand each physique considering the incontrovertible fact that brings you peace. they have not got regularly occurring ideals or rules to stay with, somewhat they desire to earnings what each faith has to assert with reference to the international, and make team discussions. i think of it somewhat is the main needed stuff approximately UU.

Answer 7

Starring you, because I'm UU too, but maybe you should post the beliefs so they can see them.

Edit: Am posting them here.
There are seven principles which Unitarian Universalist congregations affirm and promote:


The inherent worth and dignity of every person;
Justice, equity and compassion in human relations;
Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations;
A free and responsible search for truth and meaning;
The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large;
The goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all;
Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.
Unitarian Universalism (UU) draws from many sources:

Direct experience of that transcending mystery and wonder, affirmed in all cultures, which moves us to a renewal of the spirit and an openness to the forces which create and uphold life;
Words and deeds of prophetic women and men which challenge us to confront powers and structures of evil with justice, compassion, and the transforming power of love;
Wisdom from the world's religions which inspires us in our ethical and spiritual life;
Jewish and Christian teachings which call us to respond to God's love by loving our neighbors as ourselves;
Humanist teachings which counsel us to heed the guidance of reason and the results of science, and warn us against idolatries of the mind and spirit.
Spiritual teachings of earth-centered traditions which celebrate the sacred circle of life and instruct us to live in harmony with the rhythms of nature.
These principles and sources of faith are the backbone of our religious community.

Answer 8

It is non biblical- false doctrine- goes against what God says.

This is a type of relegion that man has made to make himself happy- whatever is a feel good relegion, many will go to....it is sad- but it happens.

What does God say about this?
2 Timothy 4:3-4
3 For the time is coming when people will not endure sound[a] teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, 4and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.

Answer 9

to unitarian universalism, Jesus was a good moral teacher, but nothing more. he isn't considered to be divine, and every miracle associated with him is rejected as being outside of human reason

unitarian universalism has nothing in common with biblical christianity. it is a false gospel; its teachings are contrary to the bible, and its members strongly oppose traditional, biblical christian beliefs [while purporting to be free of discrimination or prejudice of any kind]. the bible clearly refutes unitarian universalism on all the major points of its teachings.
