(34,768 posts)me away. I am a member and past President of a UU Church. It is a Progressive Secular Humanist org that accept all beliefs. We like to say we cant answer your question, but we can question your answers.
Ive always been a big fan of the study of comparative religions. When any religion acts in an authoritarian way, theyve lost me. So I petted much pick and choose what I like from all of them.
All most all of them say, in some way, treat others as you would like to be treated. I buy that. I went to a talk by the Dahlia Lama. During the question and answer part, someone said all the Darmas and such are very complicated, can you make easier for me? He said it boils down to one thing Be Nice.
I also like a verse in of the Tao Te Ching The Tao that is spoken of is not the eternal Tao.
Anyway, its all very interesting. I also heard someone say Religion is like a penis, Im glad you have one, but if you wave it in my face, we have a problem.
