Very true about the Unitarians. I suppose that a Christian could be a member there, with all of the coexist'ers, but they wouldn't take to kindly if you tried quoting Jesus' words in John 14:6; "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."

What would be interesting is for a bunch of calm, polite, neatly dressed WOMEN to show up.... open carrying. I mean a LOT. Like 50-100. Not sure if anybody could put it together before Saturday, though. If they could, it would make one heck of a Youtube.

My ex-wife (emphasis on "EX"......I turned gray-haired early in life thanks to her..... ) and I were married in a Unitarian church in El Paso in January of 1973. We chose it because neither of us had any particular religious convictions at the time, and that church seemed to be OK with our lack of conviction. But we did have to meet with the pastor a couple of times before he would marry us, and I remember being very surprised at the the time when HE said that, while he was open to the possibility of God's existence, he didn't believe in God. When I asked him how that could be consistent with being a pastor, and the way he explained it to me was that, in the Unitarian viewpoint, it wasn't the knowing of God that was important, it was the seeking after God that was important - and that one could seek after God, without yet knowing if He was real or not, and that would fulfill the church's expectation of its adherents.

41 years later and as a saved Bible-believing evangelical Christian, while I naturally believe that the seeking to find God is important, I don't believe that salvation is in the seeking; rather it's in the relationship one has with Jesus, and that it isn't possible to know the things of God without that relationship. So I cannot agree on a spiritual level with that Unitarian philosophy, IF my understanding of it is consistent with their doctrine.

I don't know if what you say about unitarians being anti-Christian is true or not (I am uninformed about it), but I have noticed that the Unitarian church does seem to be a bastion of leftist thought.

Agreed .

Carrying of course.

Simply brilliant. That alone negates the primary strategy of Moms Demand which is to do everything they can to portray LTCs as mean intimidating extremist bullies. I'd love to see them try to deal with polite well mannered gun owners offering them Chik-fil-A and Girl Scout cookies.

“A ‘liberal paradise’ would be a place where everybody has guaranteed employment, free comprehensive health care, free education, free food, free housing, free clothing, free utilities and only law enforcement personnel have guns. And, believe it or not, such a liberal utopia does indeed exist. ... It’s called prison.”

To opine on the Universalist once more. I refuse to call them Unitarian for Unitarians, basically non-Trinitarians, were overtaken by Ralph Waldo Emerson and other voices of the humanist movement. Note, if you were to visit, the poetry quotes on the walls. Unitarian: A person, especially a Christian, who asserts the unity of God and rejects the doctrine of the Trinity. Universalist: A person who believes that all humankind will eventually be saved. I'm try to adhere that words have meaning. Peace.
