[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some atheists are real jerks to be sure, but the premise of this thread (that atheists "want to convert everyone") is just nonsense.

One nice thing about Buddhism is you don't get pulled into these pointless conversations.  :wink:

Also to the pp above who said UU doesn't believe in god, that's not true.  [/quote]

UU's have a choice.  Some don't believe in God - openly don't believe -- and are as much a part of the ccommunity.as those who believe.  [b]There is no dogma that members must accept to belong.[/b]  No words about a supernatural god that are repeated during the service.[/quote]

yeah, but it's inaccurate to say UU doesn't believe in God. It does.[/quote]

Here are the UU's 7 principles.  https://www.uua.org/beliefs/what-we-believe/principles?gclid=CjwKCAiAlO7uBRANEiwA_vXQ-9RecG7x-FLeBYAylKGiZdvGkTQWGnN28qz8emn375OMgx82nCthdhoCdPUQAvD_BwE   No mention of god

Unitarian Universalist congregations affirm and promote seven Principles, which we hold as strong values and moral guides. We live out these Principles within a “living tradition” of wisdom and spirituality, drawn from sources as diverse as science, poetry, scripture, and personal experience.

As Rev. Barbara Wells ten Hove explains, “The Principles are not dogma or doctrine, but rather a guide for those of us who choose to join and participate in Unitarian Universalist religious communities.”

1st Principle: The inherent worth and dignity of every person;
2nd Principle: Justice, equity and compassion in human relations;
3rd Principle: Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations;
4th Principle: A free and responsible search for truth and meaning;
5th Principle: The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large;
6th Principle: The goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all;
7th Principle: Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.[/quote]
