According to
Belief-O-Matic I am:
Unitarian Universalist
Belief in Deity
Very diverse beliefs--Unitarian/Universalists welcome all deity beliefs
as well as nontheistic beliefs. Some congregations are formed for
those who share a common belief, e.g. Christianity.
Incarnations
Very diverse beliefs, including belief in no incarnations, or that all are
the embodiment of God. Some believe Christ is God's Son, or not Son
but "Wayshower."
Origin of Universe and Life
Diverse beliefs, but most believe in the Bible as symbolic and that
natural processes account for origins.
After Death
Diverse beliefs, but most believe that heaven and hell are not places
but are symbolic. Some believe heaven and hell are states of
consciousness either in life or continuing after death; some believe in
reincarnation; some believe that afterlife is nonexistent or not known
or not important, as actions in life are all that matter.
Why Evil?
Most do not believe that humanity inherited original sin from Adam and
Eve or that Satan actually exists. Most believe that God is good and
made people inherently good but also with free will and an imperfect
nature that leads some to immoral behavior. Diverse beliefs. Some
believe wrong is committed when people distance themselves from
God. Some believe in karma, that what goes around comes around.
Some believe wrongdoing is a matter of human nature, psychology,
sociology, etc.
Salvation
Some believe in salvation through faith in God and Jesus Christ, along
with doing good works and doing no harm to others. Many believe all
will be saved, as God is good and forgiving. Some believe in
reincarnation and the necessity to eliminate personal greed or to learn
all of lifes lessons before achieving enlightenment or salvation. For
some, the concepts of salvation or enlightenment are irrelevant or
disbelieved.
Undeserving Suffering
Diverse beliefs. Most Unitarians do not believe that Satan causes
suffering. Some believe suffering is part of Gods plan, will, or design,
even if we dont immediately understand it. Some dont believe in any
spiritual reasons for suffering, and most take a humanistic approach to
helping those in need.
Contemporary Issues
The Unitarian Universalist Associations stance is to protect the
personal right to choose abortion. Other contemporary views include
working for equality for homosexuals, gender equality, a secular
approach to divorce and remarriage, working to end poverty,
promoting peace and nonviolence, and environmental protection.
