Oh yeah we do. There was a big blowup over BLM in the UUA (US body) that led to major changes including throwing out the principles in favour of shared values (which I find kind of corporate speak myself). CUC (Canadian body) was less affected and kept the principles but added an eighth dealing with our response to systemic racism.

You keep on making wyrd statements like this.

ALL religion is "man made". Shrimp and trees and cats don't care about human religious beliefs.

You think the brand you in particular have come up with is the perfect belief system. But you're as clueless as anyone. I can find biblical support against ANY position you might hold. In fact, hilariously, your fondness for the Amplified Bible makes it dead easy, but I can do it with other translations.

Additionally, you seem not to understand that "catholic" in the way it is used in much of Christendom is "universal". When a UCC minister baptizes a child into the catholic church, they are making them a member of the "universal" christian family (pretty close, anyway - those that believe in infant baptism and requiring the Trinitarian words of Father, Son and Holy Spirit), not the specific denomination of Roman Catholicism.

It seems this requires a degree of word differentiation as if ... word was the god as a symbol! Can we somehow integrate that ... generate a story-time myth!
 
If all the children were drawn to the light would a great bunch be inflamed by what they didn't know priorly ?

Probably the apocalyptic shock of becoming aware of the understanding portion ... a tough learning curve!

Allowing people to have their own thoughts seems to be the root of all these problems.

Down with thinking!

Besides the tyrannical type would definitely interfere physically and thus the alternative dimension ... mentally speaking (that's out of here)!

One you remove your self from here, an emotional dimension, you are into the distant thoughts ...

All through human history, that has been a response to people actually thinking about things.

Though, unfortunately, it's usually more, "Down with thinking! Listen to me instead!". :rolleyes:

Followed shortly thereafter by, "Hey, that guy is thinking! Burn him alive!"

The Naked Pastor has a cartoon about Jesus on the cross in front of a person like that who identifies cruelty with entertainment ... no names mentioned. Anybody aware of the site labelled The Naked Pastor? It has a great deal of satire and other devices ... embarrassing to powers ... some are not aware of the double cheekiness ... like some royalty regarding Shakespeare ... "they must be referring to my enemies (Canadians, or others)!

Interesting. Pastor turned cartoonist and blogger. That's right up there with Randall Munroe of xkcd who is an NASA engineer turned cartoonist.

Those unable to deal with the double cheeks ... end up with the one sided faces of playing cards ... one view in simple tongues ...

The loudest cry against "dangerous thinking," Mendalla, comes from hearts that fear being challenged.

The irony's that God's not threatened by honest questions. Scripture's filled with people wrestling. Reasoning. Lamenting. Searching.

If all truth's God's truth, Mendalla, then genuine inquiry must ultimately lead us closer to Him.

It's amazing how often history's "burn the thinker" crowd turns out to have been fighting reality itself
 
I say again ... check out the Naked Pastor's recent article on the man with the long pointy red tie ...

It is a FB image with some double cheekiness ... and Sigh is encountered ... Aye? THus down goes the light ...
