    My belief is that all religions are right to an extent. Maybe different aspects of every religion are true. We just don't know the truths from the false truths so everyone picks what sounds right for them and follows it.

    people who agree on topic shoudl not be allowed to rule...only through disagreement can people grow, and learn, and work for what is best

    everyone who takes that test comes out 100% UU. At least all of my results have always been like that. It's because they accept just about anyone.

    UU is a broad faith, 'liberal religion' is what it get's call. I am lucky to have one about a block from my house. We have polythesits and atheists and those numercally inbetween in the congregation. Some find faith in the Bible; others of us find ours in Nature. Still others look no further than human nature and the desire to do the right thing, whatever that might be. What we offer each other is fellowship and encouragement to find our own answers. Our services are simple, involving bad singing, thought provoking lectures, and a great monthly potlock.

    I think more people would fit in with us if they didn't run for the hills everytime they heard the word 'church'. A friend of mine dropped the cat he was standing and petting when he heard little ol' Pagan me had joined a Church. Took a wee bit explaining, it did.

    stop takingtests and believe what you think is right. i dont need anyone telling me to believe in god or that the waterbottle in my fridge created all life on earth. just believe what you think is true
    something is true if you truly believe it to be

    I belong to a Unitarian Universalist church simply because they are accepting of EVERYONE. They embrace each others differences and celebrate them.

    Unity and UU are unrelated. I don't know much the former.
