[/quote] Yeah, the Unitarians have always been kind of weird. I still find it odd that they're an "atheist-friendly church". So what does that mean? Free coffee and donuts after the "Sunday Social Justice Hour"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homeschoolmom Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 I always wonder what it would be like going to a Unitarian... uh, worsh-- no, "gathering." Do they have much in the way of "Sunday school" and kids' programs? What do they sing in the children's choir? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertwoman Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 I've been to one in Myrtle Beach. They sing some songs, horrible, but some songs and the "preacher" comes in and begins to talk. Mostly humanist stuff. Afterwards, they will eat and bless the food and people are free to talk and voice their views of what they think God is and what not.

Like a Child Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Yeah, I have to admit I don't understand the atheists going to church thing. . .but kudos to the Unitarians for their support of the gay community. It's a breath of fresh air as far as I'm concerned. Perhaps one day, by the grace of God, my own beloved Church will support equal rights for ALL instead of spending so much time condemning the way some people choose to love.

Socrates Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Long ago someone (I forget who) defined a Unitarian as "one who believes in, at most, one God." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps one day, by the grace of God, my own beloved Church will support equal rights for ALL instead of spending so much time condemning the way some people choose to love. In Christ, Like a Child [/quote] The "support of the the gay community" thing is hardly a "breath of fresh air," but is more of the stale politically correct nonsense which has become all too common in liberal religious circles. Christ calls ALL to repent of their sins and follow Him. To support sinners in their sin is not Christian, nor charity, but is wrong, as unrepentent sin leads to damnation. St. Paul says in 1 Corinthians 6:9-10: [quote]Know you not that the unjust shall not possess the kingdom of God? Do not err: Neither fornicators nor idolaters [b]nor the effeminate nor liers with mankind [/b] nor thieves nor covetous nor drunkards nor railers nor extortioners shall possess the kingdom of God.[/quote] What was wrong then is wrong now. Christ's teaching does not change with the political fashions of the time. Would you give kudos to a "church" which gave support to the "thieves community" or the "drunkard community" or the "extortioner community"? Learn the moral teachings of Christ and His Church.

EcceNovaFacioOmni Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 The Church denies straight couples the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony if they state they are not going to try and have children. Theological and Biblical reasons aside, why should the Church "allow" homosexual "marriage" (as if it had the authority) which does not even have the potential for procreation?

[/quote] Thats the "beauty" of the unitarian church, they believe in everything and also nothing at the same time. : For the most part, our local Unitarian church is a haven for humanists.
