Unitarian Universalism
This doesn't surprise me very much, seeing as Roman Catholism came in at 9%, and number 26 on a list of 26 religions. It's nice to know there's a religion out there that accepts varying views!!
Unitarian Universalism A liberal and diverse religious organization comprised of mostly atheists (or non-theists), agnostics, Humanists, liberal Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, Neopagans, etc.
Belief in Deity: Very diverse beliefs - Unitarian Universalists welcome all deity beliefs as well as nontheistic beliefs. Some congregations are formed for those who share a common belief, e.g. Christianity.
Incarnations: Very diverse beliefs, including belief in no incarnations, or that all are the embodiment of God. Some believe Christ is God's Son, or not Son but "Wayshower."
Origins of universe/life: Diverse beliefs, but most believe in the Bible as symbolic and that natural processes account for origins.
After death: Diverse beliefs, but most believe that heaven and hell are not places, but are symbolic. Some believe heaven and hell are states of consciousness either in life or continuing after death; some believe in reincarnation; some believe that afterlife is nonexistent or not known or not important, as actions in life are all that matter.
Why evil? Diverse beliefs. Some believe wrong is committed when people distance themselves from God. Some believe in ?karma,? that what goes around comes around. Some believe wrongdoing is a matter of human nature, psychology, sociology, etc.
Salvation: Some believe in salvation through faith in God and Jesus Christ, along with doing good works and doing no harm to others. Many believe all will be saved, as God is good and forgiving. Some believe in reincarnation and the necessity to eliminate personal greed or to learn all of life?s lessons before achieving enlightenment or salvation. For some, the concepts of salvation or enlightenment are irrelevant or disbelieved.
Undeserved suffering: Diverse beliefs. It would be a rare Unitarian Universalists that believes that a literal Satan causes suffering. Some believe suffering is part of God?s plan, will, or design even if we don?t immediately understand it. Some don?t believe in any spiritual reasons for suffering, and most take a humanistic approach to helping those in need.
Contemporary Issues: The Unitarian Universalist Association?s stance is to protect the personal right to choose abortion. Other contemporary views include working for equality for homosexuals, gender equality, a secular approach to divorce and remarriage, working to end poverty, promoting peace and non-violence, and environmental protection.

weird dreams
I've been having some really weird dreams lately. One that I just remembered involves my teeth. I dreamt that my straight teeth (thanks to braces) got all messed up somehow and so I took my fingers, and moved the teeth around myself. Sections of my teeth actually swung completely around... it was the weirdest feeling. My orthodontist appointment is tomorrow, maybe that has something to do with it. I also dreamt recently that I was driving a truck down an icy highway. Somewhere in the middle of the voyage, my dad appeared in the middle of the road waving his arms back and forth, but I couldn't get the truck to stop fast enough and ended up running him over. It was in detail too. A few weeks ago I dreamt that I was in a house, in my pyjamas. Just as I was about to head upstairs, I looked through the patio window and seen this hideously frightening wolf/dog/human thing walking towards the screen. As soon as I seen it, it was evident this thing wanted to chase me. So I scurried up the stairs backwards on all fours, with the intention of walling myself into the bathroom where it couldn't get me. Except whenever I tried to enter a room, I seemed to miss the doorway and would have to go farther down the hallway upstairs. It didn't take very long before that wolf/dog/human thing caught up to me and the dream ended before I became a snack. Tuesday, 30 March 2004
Gay bashing by our Christian friends
Some highlights of the https://www.angelfire.com/ma4/cathedral/catholicismanew/ blog This whole gay marriage thing, you do realize is not about gay marriage. It is about cloning. If you take gay marriage and stem cell and embryonic research, you have all the tools you need including the biological to do cloning and all the other eugenics projects you want. Lesbian couples provide the biological structures to bring it all forward. It is the next step of technology. Further, it is written in the law, through the Goodrich Supreme Court Decision.

Changing myself by the way of others
I've noticed something recently. The people around me shape who I am. This isn't a huge life-shattering finding... just something that one has to realize on their own after going through it, I suppose. A year ago I was such a different person (much more boring!) with different tastes in almost everything. Now, I've surrounded myself with people who are like what I've become, and it's so much more comfortable than having to constantly change to suit them. And I'm actually comfortable with who I am, now. This is such a change from the past. Maybe being 20 years old has something to do with it... that my personality is stabilizing. One can only hope.

... and what does satanism do for YOU?
Today I met a Satanist, or so he says. It was actually somebody that my boyfriend knew and turned all punk/satanist overnight. He dressed like he stepped into a closet blind-folded and jumped into a gallon of rainbow pain. When questioned about his religious beliefs, he couldn't even make a logical point to make sense of it all. The worse part for him is that he got a pentagram TATTOOED on his NECK. He'll forever be stuck with it, and his stupidity. I felt the most sorry for his girlfriend... she just sat there and listened while the guy prattled on like an idiot, saying how he aspires to be a homeless vagrant later in life. Nobody with self-respect WANTS to be homeless, or date someone who is aiming to be homeless. Arg. Friday, 26 March 2004

I Hurt Sometimes, You Know?
Susanna Kaysen: I know what it's like to want to die. How it hurts to smile. How you try to fit in but you can't. How you hurt yourself on the outside to try to kill the thing on the inside.
