| | vexxtra | Mar 12, 2005 8:49pm | | anyone go to a UU church? I'm thinking of starting to go to one here in Nashville...they seem very liberal and the main reason I'm interested is that they embrace L/G people...I'm not gay myself but I just feel more comfortable around them... |

"Homosexuality is not really dealt with in Scripture as a unique aspect of personality and that the love of two gays or lesbians for each other in a stable, monogamous relationship, can be as holy as that between a man and a woman, is never explored. Certainly, both gay and heterosexual people can and do sin sexually. However, sin is more than simply breaking the rules. Sin is the absence, the abnegation of love. It is the rejection or substitution of God, who is Love. Where love exists, sin is not present. If two persons love each other, and seek God's blessing on their love, who are we to say that He withholds it because 3500 years ago a Levite didn't understand sexual reproduction."
thats from the third link lrryn posted, i believe
edit that,..the first one.. |

However I think its completely okay for /other people/ to practice religion. I just think it's unnecessary silliness that tends to hamper the speed of social change/advance.
I don't care what anyone thinks, I want a boyfriend who is a real frikken' wolfman.
P.S: Although UU seems to have very little of thier respective heads up thier respective arses.
P.S.S: Also that wolfman reference referred to the animal/human gene-splicing controversy if it was too vague. |

It was a very nice service and the people were wonderful... It certainly was the first church I'd ever been to where I saw the preacher hug her girlfriend after the service... lol |
