But in practice?
Remember, 90% of the people are here because they were fucked up or fucked over by their previous religion. Let's just say many have quite a few serious "issues" that haven't been worked out. Now we find ourselves in a group that essentially says "anything goes" with a post-modernist twist: Gosh, who are we to say your "unique interpretations" are better than mine?
Look in the dictionary under "inertia." It says, "see any UU committee."
Visit our webpage and read. Skim the hymnal, especially the writings in the back. Excellent, respectful, thoughtful, and it actually works in practice when folks give it a chance. After 20 years and about 5 congregations, I find myself a better UU the farther I get from them on a Sunday morning or on any evening committee.
It's worth a try. Just don't expect a panacea, even if you're willing to volunteer all your time and money. Because there are a lot more freaks like the one LW has issues with than not. And they want to teach your kids.
