Terri's sentiments match my own, and say what I couldnt figure out how to say in the last post. I feel I'm spiritual, I dont define myself as an atheist. So I guess the "God is Optional" slogan didnt speak to me because of that (even if "God" is just a simple term I use to describe a power higher than myself... it's one usually every one gets, even if our theologies are different). What definitely would speak to me, however, is exactly as Terri describes: something that represents our social actions and our love for humankind. I would definitely have been drawn to a church with a banner that reads "Standing on the Side of Love." Because to me, the members of a church should practice what they preach... and stand on the side of love for all of humanity...

Thank you so much for this, PeaceBang! I just like to write and am so glad you enjoyed reading my posts. I LOVE dialogue about spirituality and UUism, and am looking forward to "blog-chatting" further with you and others interested in these topics. Wow! Thank you so much for this, PeaceBang!
