Author Darkangelism Posted March 28, 2004 Author Share Posted March 28, 2004 UU believe in acceptance of what others believe, some are athiest, some belive in god, but not that jesus is god. Very liberal religion. I believe a good portion of it, i was 94% UU on the test. Link to post Share on other sites

dyermaker Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 I remember someone, during a debate on gay marriages, stated that the Unitarians marry gays, thus by prohibiting it we're infringing on their 1st ammendment rights. Interesting, and something I didn't know. Link to post Share on other sites

dyermaker Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 Originally posted by Darkangelism No gays were married at my church. Unitarians have been marrying gays for decades, it's only recently been a big deal. http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2004-03-16-gay-marriage_x.htm Link to post Share on other sites

dyermaker Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 President of the Unitarian Universalist Association issued the following statement: "Unitarian Univeralists strongly support marriage equality for same-sex couples. Our ministers have been officiating at religious marriages for same-sex couples for more than thirty-five years, and our ministers have happily signed marriage licenses recently for civil marriages for same-sex couples in San Francisco and Oregon. Unitarian Universalism honors ministerial independence in matters of conscience, and the Unitarian Universalist Association supports the right of our ministers in New York State to act on their best judgment on these issues. Unitarian Universalists believe that equal marriage rights for all is a matter of justice. And in the long run, we have faith that justice will prevail. Unitarian Universalists are proud to stand on the side of love." Link to post Share on other sites
Arabess Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 What would be the possible purpose of trying to find a minister to give God's blessing on a union God has already stated HE wasn't going to accept or bless? If I were gay and disagreed with God, then I would avoid ANY church. There wouldn't be any point or reasoning for me to be there or to think I was going to somehow change His mind by showing up. It's like fighting McDonald's for better meat quality when you are a vegetarian and don't even eat meat. Not only does it seem like a waste of time and energy....but why would you care? Maybe I'm wrong.....but I don't understand the point. Link to post Share on other sites

Arabess Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 Well...I'm going by the fact that the Bible states that of ALL sins, he abhors this one the most. I'm assuming He isn't keen on the idea. LOL! Link to post Share on other sites
moimeme Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 Well...I'm going by the fact that the Bible states that of ALL sins, he abhors this one the most Sorry, my friend, but this is not the case. In fact, you're going straight to hell if you eat shellfish. You see, Arabess, people have told you this, but it's not true. I've already posted extensive quotations from the bible in other threads to disprove this. Problem is that certain denominations select certain passages from the Bible and preach them to the poor faithful, who believe they're being told the whole story. They leave out a great deal. Unless you investigate for yourself, you'll never know. I did read the Bible, you see, to find out if this was true. And it is not. Link to post Share on other sites

jenny Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 i'm just learning now that the laws of kashrus were often practical, rather than arbitrary or punitive, as well. contextually, it makes a lot of sense to have a regime of procedures (sometimes verging on the ridiculous, imo, but i do not fully understand the history or culture at all yet) to ensure an animal is not diseased. it was not so much about going to hell as it was about not dying of food poisoning. and, of course, the bible, like the torah, is necessarily open to rigourous interpretation, adaptation, and application.

moimeme Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 it was not so much about going to hell as it was about not dying of food poisoning. Exactly. So much of the Bible needs to be understood in context. I have The Jerusalem Bible, which is heavily annotated with explanations of the social and cultural implications of various passages at the time they were written. Link to post Share on other sites
