Unitarian Universalist Churches

I began taking an interest in this church, when I discovered that Doctor Pat Robertson, described the Unitarian Universalists, on his fun programme, "700 Club" as "going straight to hell" It's at this point I tend to take more of an interest. I find what Doctor Pat Robertson opposes to be a great endorsement system!

Liberals are asked for millions of litmus tests, from the Christian right, to demonstrate that their faith is "correct" and "true", (which I've always thought was missing the point of faith).
Faith is where you bring up your kids, the best way you know how. If you've been a good parent, you've led by example and you got the ground rules right, then more often than not, you will find your kids will suprise you with how good they are.

You never subject your family or your friends to a barrage of tests. You don't have to boss them to care for others and accept them for who they are. Equally, our sons know bigots whenever they see them. They don't need any parental prompting from me!

A church, like Pat Robertson's, that says that gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgendered people are sinful, is not speaking for God. Surely this rainbow of sexual and gender design is God's own?

Don't these right wing evangelist churches ever read the news? All of the wars on the planet are fuelled by people who haven't merely got a temporary dispute going on. They are fuelled by people who want us British and Americans dead. Just like Hitler wanted all the Jews dead. Simple. We will beat them, because we must. Not from making bigger wars, but by fighting for peace and leading by example. This is the way we prove ourselves to be decent.

Pat Robertson, just like those warring factions, can't live with people who are part of the gender/sexual rainbow, those who don't fit neatly into the straight man and straight woman orthodoxy. This kind of human bar-coding is the stuff of wars.

Look at all of the societies which were liberal, before we arrived. Polynesia, certain parts of Africa and also the various tribes of native Americans, like the Berdache. They all worked perfectly well. Where you have acceptance and tolerance of people's differences, you have peace.

Christopher Reeve was a great friend of the Unitarian Universalist Church. The more I read of him, it becomes clear to me that he was a super man. A kind, quiet, diginified and gentle man who clearly had great strength. A church with people like that is certainly worth joining.
