I think it's interesting that I'm closer to Mormonism than Islam and Catholic. Wha? I guess all three are pretty unlikely though.

Funny thing is, even though I'm theologically matched to Unitarian, the one time I attended a service, I thought it was *too* broad. Hmm. But Quaker is cool. And what the hell does "New Age" mean, and when will it become old??

Why "too broad" at UU church? Just wondering.

PS--I got Liberal Quaker too for #2

I think because I was raised United Methodist and even though I disagreed with a lot of the nitty-gritty, I still enjoyed the rituals that came with it. So even though I like the idea of UU where any traditions are accepted and valid, I missed the rituals that are left behind. Now, this might just be the one UU church I went to -- I admit that I"m not an expert on the church as a whole.

i go to UU services- i was raised militant atheist, so just sitting at a pew with a hymnal in front of me (even if we sing old sufferege songs) used to freak me out. I guess what i like about UU is that you can experience 'the universe' in your own way at still be part of a supportive community. I also like that time set aside weekly for reflection.

yeah, I like the idea of a community. I was raised in a church, and I think it did wonders for me socially, as well as gave me opportunities to sing in choirs and do drama (and not just Easter plays -- we did musical theater and such). I'm just not keen on oppressive dogma and such, surprise surprise. I should probably try another UU service...

'services' as opposed to going to 'church'

yes- the singing is the best! I want to join the choir but i don't know how to approach it with regards to the trans thing and since i have a medium sounding women's voice and all that- i just don't know if i am there yet to get up in front of everyone and sing and not worry about how they see me.

i fear oppressive dogma, myself! :) this sticks in my mind from one of the UU services i have attending: the member of the 'ministering team' as it's called who was speaking, began his talk by saying, 'now, this is how i see god. it's no more right or wrong than the way you feel. I am just sharing my experience.' Very cool.
