Hey all im taking the liberty of joining in here- im the minister of an independent church but feel a close affinity with UU. The link below has a statement which is the closest to anything I could ever sign up for. Religions (all of them) have the danger of leading people away from a belief in life, humanity, nature, science, community and ultimately from “spirit”. I would say that all religions are equally false, especially when they lead people to suck the finger pointing to life, rather than following it Religion will serve some useful purposes for some people. I dont take that away from anyone. But most of the time, it will just be false comfort. For me, any belief that invites people into the miracle of the present moment is exciting. When UU, or any organization does that, then I am interested thanks Zoe for this discussion and the spirit behind it Ian http://www.naturalism.org/spiritua1.htm
