That said, I remember thinking to myself “what kind of god puts so much fear into you that you have to talk in whispers in an office with a closed door?”. What kind of god promotes fear?
Until I was 18, I humored my dad by going to church every Sunday. Then that was that.
I remember being 6 or 7 and being utterly confused by the Catholic god they were telling me about.
The god I knew was a loving father.

Agreed. The God I believe in is a loving spirit. #religion #faith #unitarian #Universalist
@LnzyHou @sloudermilk @Redskye572 No matter how we each view the infinite expanse beyond, we have more in common to unite us than divide us.
There is no need to be right, no need to be the sole idea of prominence, when we can all agree to be excellent to one another, to prioritize compassion and empathy, and work to make a better world.
@NiveusLepus @LnzyHou @Redskye572
Yes, absolutely! This is what attracted me to Unitarian Universalism. It's a religion whose members include protestants, catholics, jews, atheists, muslims, hindus, etc.
But we all believe in the worth and dignity of every person and the interdependent web of existence of which we are a part.
This is the way.

Beautifully stated 💫
@sloudermilk @LnzyHou @Redskye572
This is exactly it!
@sloudermilk @LnzyHou @Redskye572 As a Polytheist, my belief is that there are numerous Gods, more than can even be counted. This raises the question for me, as to why anyone would want to follow one that encourages fear and hatred.
