yeah...I would submit that Unitarianism is a degree removed from institutional Christianity, and is more akin to Universalism, than Christianity. However, I would agree that I don't speak to Unitarians with my posts, either. They, like Jews, are much more "Live and let live" than your traditional Christians. I would aslo admit that Catholics are one of the few Christian sects that I tend to leave alone. They have some pretty strange believes (the concept of transubstantiation is just gross), but they aren't nearly as aggressive as Protestants are.True. Although I am more tolerant of Jews. Mostly because they don't spend nearly as much time, and energy trying to convert me, or trying to codify their belief-based morality into law. Once the Christians, and Muslims start taking their cues from the Jews, I'll start leaving their asses alone, too.Yup. That is the God that Christians worship. And they wonder why there are those of us who find it difficult to take them seriously?
- Creates evil (Isiah)
- Creates Adam and Eve (Genesis)
- Populate the world through Incest (Adam, Eve, Caine and Abel the only humans on Earth - you do the math)
- Surprised the evil (he created) exists
- Clueless about how to deal with evil.
- Drowns the entire planet, save for one small family of very, very skilled ship builders
- Repopulates the world through incest (Again, only Noah, his wife, his three kids, and their wives to procreate - you do the math)
- Surprised evil exists...again.
- Send plagues, diseases, starvation, plagues, tsunamis, etc.
- Still bewildered by the evil
- Blames Satan (whom he created).
- Rapes (plants his seed) into a girl so she'll give birth to himself as his own son, so we can torture, and kill him/His son, so he can forgive us for being so evil.
- Says, "Just KIDDING!" three days later, and brings his son back to life (Soooo...a sacrifice of nothing?)
- Claims omniscience, and omnipotence.
- Expects to be worshipped for his wisdom.
It is the same God that Jews and Muslims worship...
The Tanakh is the Christian Old Testament...
Not all Christians are the same...
You have Unitarians that are like their Jewish cousins and prefer to let you find your own way than preach to you.
Being born to a Jewish Mother and Catholic Father and becoming Unitarian I have learn a lot and know not all Christians preach the Fire and Brimstone but instead look to lead by example instead and if you have never seen it, well that is sad.
Also I know many Muslims that are fine humans that I would break bread and could have married a few of their daughters, so again the generalization of Muslims seem wrong to me but hey maybe you have yet to meet the good ones...
