Unitarian here.
My category should be Not Interested. Is that a choice?
I have several generations of Unitarian-Universalists on my mother’s side, and that’s how I was raised, more or less, considering that we didn’t have a Unitarian church in our small town, and we had to travel to the big city for church.Originally Posted by nswef
It didn’t take. I thought it was boring and the Unitarians did not have anything to say that appealed to me. More than one interaction showed me members of that that community are just as bigoted in their non belief as the super religious. certainly Unitarians can be believers, though.
My great grandfather was responsible for building a tiny New England style white clapboard Universalist church on the prairie in Iowa.It now sits abandoned and empty in a tiny Iowa town, owned by the county’s historical preservation group.
Yes, I believe if you took the quiz, they would be able to classify you as agnostic, atheist, or maybe even "not interested"... because a lot of the question choices are "I don't care."

I think so too. I like the test because it helps you to categorize what you belief, what lines up with it. There is definitely an "agnostic" category as I recall. I just try to answer the questions honestly with what I think. It was fun to find there were all these other people who thought just like I did, and I did find a lot of Quaker ancestors, so it all seemed to fit.
If you're not interested, then you probably wouldn't bother to take the test.
Okay-----Among the scores o' Churches they got here, (including Romanian Baptist, Buddhis' Temple, all manner o churches, big n small), they got a Unitarian and a Unity Church. The belief system sounds good on paper, but the local Unitarian/Unity groups are cells of neo-libtards. I tell you what, tho--if you like sitting in airports and sitting on planes watching mooo-vvees, and are fixated on crucifiction & old churches, then a trip to Latvia is in order. Yup. They got lots of 'em. 2023-04-25 (2).jpg2023-04-25 (4).jpg2023-04-25 (4).jpg2023-04-25 (9).jpg
yes, the political lib ideology is strong in the Unitarian church. I don’t think there are “Unity “churches around anymore. There is a very charming stone church in my old neighborhood that is quite old and was originally built as a Unity church.
It is interesting that you have a Romanian Baptist church in your area of flyover country. Unitarianism started in Romania, I believe.
Funny, I really want to go to Latvia for the architecture, but at the moment it’s too close to that mess in the Ukraine.
Okay----Wrong, Faux., They sure do have a Unity church, here. Yuyp. It's on a side street, in a modest edifice that prolly at one time has housed other groups that moved on. But yeah---they may be a splinter group of the UU, but they identify as Unity. Got a wummun preacher, too. But yeah--in a way they're ok(bettrn the fixated Baptists), but still way too libtarded. I like like Cath'lic tho, if I hadda go to church. Yup.
There are a lot of Unity churches around, at least where we have lived--we attended one a couple of times in Michigan, we went to one on Hilton Head, we drive by one in Maine, and there is one a block away from my son in Indiana. It was somewhat like Unitarian but heavily into works of Catherine Ponder et al. A lot of teachings about money,
Thank you for that news that the Unity Church is still around. I did not know that. Focusing on the works of Catherine Ponder is a bit… Suspect. I wonder if that is unique to the congregation.
now I see that the Unity church was founded in my home state. Hmmm. Also, the stone church in my old neighborhood was built before 1889 which is when the Unity church, founded in Missouri, is stated to have started. The one in my neighborhood Was built… In the 1870s I think? Well I could be wrong about that.
edited to add:
not that anyone cares, but the old church in my old neighborhood was built in 1869. The archives say it was “church of the Unity” which appears to be a different thing from the modern Unity Church. I think this church was subsumed into Unitarian/Universalist, or it faded out, or something.
