You are such a little grumpus. Am I egotistical just because I think you're wrong, or think I'm funny? Or both? I'm less egotistical than you, who tells anyone who disagrees with you that it's because they do not kow anywhere near as much as you do, as if the same knowledge base would automatically lead to your inexoribaly correct mindset. But I'll yield on that one, as Egotism is one of your areas of expertise. You are not required to think I'm funny. You never once wrote me a check, you cheap bastard, why should I care what makes you laugh? Beside, as a professional comedian I know much, much, much, more than you do bout comedy and if you knew all the stuff I did you'd agree with me. It's very egotistical of you to claim otherwise. As for hypersensitive... I can't talk about it anymore becuase you made me cry, you nasty little man.

Ant, Unitarians are a diverse lot. Each congregation is a self governed group, so you get a whole lot of different things. Many UU (Unitarian Universalists) churches are very goofy new age affairsm, but generally speaking there hearst are in the right place. There are a set of ethical precepts about the inherent worth of all people and social justice (World wide living wage is a huge UU issue these days) but there are zero precepts about the nature of your belief. Creedless. An atheist can be a UU. The Church I belong to is more conservative than most UU's in that we are nominally Christian, and we actually do mention God. Christian is a bad description, because it's mostly about Jesus and we don't really care oif you think he was divine or not.

Thomas Jefferson made his own bible where he cut out every refernce to miracles and all claims that Jesus was Gods personal son (as opposed to hints that everyone is Gods son or daughter) and that's the basic deal. But that's just my congregation. There's nothing Jesus said about how to treat each other that runs contrary to my Judiasm. If memory serves, Jesus kind of thought he was a Jew. I mean, it would have been SO concieted for him to call himself a Christian, and he was NOT stuck up. Until the end.
