I'm open to #kbin too. Some more things I like or am curious about and want to find on the fediverse: #UnitarianUniversalism #Druidism #Kemeticism #Gnosticism #FaithfullyLGBT liberal/inclusive religion in general #TheLionKing #Bluey #CozyFantasy #SFWFurry (whole account must be sfw) hmm... that's a decent list for now. Still looking for a fedi community dedicated to the more polyfidelity side of #polyamory as well.

I got my first letter from my #prison penpal today, and my heart is heavy

My search for community without religion has led me to #UnitarianUniversalism. It's like... federated belief systems.The local branch had sermons on podcast. I listened to a few.... Very much like Ted Talks with focus on mental/spiritual wellness.
The church doesn't really grow because members don't evangelize, and parents encourage their kids to think for themselves when it comes to beliefs, so... This might be my kind of crowd.
To be candid, I get a lot of pushback from LGBTQ+ friends for being religious when, overall, religion is generally hostile to #queer and #trans people.
Mine is different than most.

#Universalism is generally described as "Everyone is saved."
My take on universalism is "No one is saved unless everyone is saved."
It doesn't matter how you personally define salvation - whether it's heaven or Beloved Community or liberation - we do not achieve it unless everyone is included.

Hi, y'all: a serious question if you have a moment? Where has the conversation within #UnitarianUniversalism gone? I mean the venue for back and forth, and ideally not just ministers. As a system, it's gotten very quiet from my viewpoint, and I wonder if what persists is in private circles or within congregations.
So many glowing endorsements from wonderful people in support of a wonderful candidate for UUA president. Read them here and add your own, if you feel so moved.

I'm a guy but I went through that same process, just didn't have a name for it. Took several years to get to the point where I knew I didn't believe it anymore, several more years to admit it to myself. I was like, how do we know? God said. How do we know he said it? Do I really think people do or should go to hell for being born before Jesus or born gay? After a while it all evaporated. #UnitarianUniversalism turned out to be a good tonic. You just have to be kind. YMMV.
"Despite an unlikely premise for a mainstream novel, Search is a smart, funny and enlightening book about contemporary religion, especially of the liberal, undogmatic variety that is typical of #UnitarianUniversalism and, well, much of non-Orthodox Judaism."
@TheGrumpyOwl After a heavy shroom experience I started to think the earth might be sentient. I swear something talked to me and told me it loved me. The earth or maybe the universe. Probably just the shrooms talking, but I'm like 5 percent not an atheist now. #UnitarianUniversalism was a happy medium :)
An Elizabeth Stout book said “Unitarians are just atheists who don’t want to miss out on Christmas,” and, honestly, fair.

A very interesting perspective on Christmas in America. Thank you. As a Unitarian Universalist, I still think the best part are the humanism by which Jesus lived his life, which does not require divinity for me, and the peace on earth message that we all need to remember.
I'm glad I have the chance to bookmark this article.
Merry Christmas.

Every Christmas Season I listen to Handel's Messiah - hopefully a live performance.
Tonight it was a video of a live performance from the Sydney Opera House.

This wonderful, musical blessing never fails to inspire, and bring a tear of joy to my eye.
Regardless of your religious views, appreciate it for the thrilling performance of a professional orchestra and inspiring voices of the soloists and the chorus.

Before you pass judgement that all religion is exclusive and bigoted, Take a look at the principles of Unitarian Universalism:

I should have mentioned it originally. It's on the web site of the First Unitarian Congregation of Toronto.
