ok, in one of the questions, it more or less asked what form of god you believe in. i don't believe in a holy trinity, yet it comes up on my beliefs page. probably because my opinions were in all different directions, as i'm sure most people here have. we'll never be categorized; it's better for everyone that way.

lol....

1. Unitarian Universalism (100%)

? Belief in Deity
Very diverse beliefs--Unitarian/Universalists welcome all deity beliefs as well as nontheistic beliefs. Some congregations are formed for those who share a common belief, e.g. Christianity.

? Incarnations
Very diverse beliefs, including belief in no incarnations, or that all are the embodiment of God. Some believe Christ is God's Son, or not Son but "Wayshower."

? Origin of Universe and Life
Diverse beliefs, but most believe in the Bible as symbolic and that natural processes account for origins.

? After Death
Diverse beliefs, but most believe that heaven and hell are not places but are symbolic. Some believe heaven and hell are states of consciousness either in life or continuing after death; some believe in reincarnation; some believe that afterlife is nonexistent or not known or not important, as actions in life are all that matter.

? Why Evil?
Most do not believe that humanity inherited original sin from Adam and Eve or that Satan actually exists. Most believe that God is good and made people inherently good but also with free will and an imperfect nature that leads some to immoral behavior. Diverse beliefs. Some believe wrong is committed when people distance themselves from God. Some believe in ?karma,? that what goes around comes around. Some believe wrongdoing is a matter of human nature, psychology, sociology, etc.

? Salvation
Some believe in salvation through faith in God and Jesus Christ, along with doing good works and doing no harm to others. Many believe all will be saved, as God is good and forgiving. Some believe in reincarnation and the necessity to eliminate personal greed or to learn all of life?s lessons before achieving enlightenment or salvation. For some, the concepts of salvation or enlightenment are irrelevant or disbelieved.

? Undeserving Suffering
Diverse beliefs. Most Unitarians do not believe that Satan causes suffering. Some believe suffering is part of God?s plan, will, or design, even if we don?t immediately understand it. Some don?t believe in any spiritual reasons for suffering, and most take a humanistic approach to helping those in need.

? Contemporary Issues
The Unitarian Universalist Association?s stance is to protect the personal right to choose abortion. Other contemporary views include working for equality for homosexuals, gender equality, a secular approach to divorce and remarriage, working to end poverty, promoting peace and nonviolence, and environmental protection.

Looks good to me.

:evil:

In truth that argument is no easier to make than the opposite one, which would state that weak minded people can't see beyond the here and now and are unable to cope with the unknown.

Eitherway, there are weak minded people who are religious and weak minded who are not, and strong willed and intelligent people on both sides of the fence.

 

[Zenmervolt]

As before, Mahayana and Theravada Buddhism run in within a hair's breadth as 1 and 2 (100% and 98% respectively). Liberal Protestant comes in at #4 (88%). The only other strictly Christian faith in the top 10 is Orthodox Quaker (77%) at #10. In the top 20, there are 4 strictly Christian sects. In the bottom 7 there are 5 strictly Christian sects.

1. Unitarian Universalism (100%)
2. Liberal Quakers (95%)
3. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (93%)
4. Neo-Pagan (85%)
5. Secular Humanism (79%)
