I met a fair number of folks who believed in "earth centered beliefs" at a UU congregation that I used to attend. I'm an atheist and lapsed Catholic but I really loved how so many people from different faith traditions would come together as a community to work towards social justice and peace. I also learned a lot from everyone, which is what I treasure the most.SpaceRanger42 wrote: Fri Sep 04, 2020 10:35 pm Spara, you might be surprised how many people in the Wiccan/pagan community have their ordination through UU, or you might not, I dunno. There is a lot of crossover there though.
Good answers folks, thanks for the input.

53I've posted this before, but it might hit a few new funnybones.
The difference between an atheist and an agnostic by example:
One of each comes across the burning bush.
The agnostic immediately starts looking for the audio playback device.
The atheist just left to get marshmallows.

55I have come across a burning bush--a whole bunch of them.
Here's a burning bush, a tanker, and a bunch of guys. I'm the one on the far right.

Re: Any other Witches/Wiccans/Wooy Types?
60One of my oldest and closest friends is a priest in the O.T.O. I was never tempted to join because some of the people are really sketchy, plus there is a big one up culture. Also, it seemed like the whole order was set up just to give Crowley's' ego a posthumous stroking. I did read a lot of Crowley's writings though, and found them very fascinating. This fiend also introduced me to Chaos Magic which was much more up my alley. I tried it a several times with various interesting results.

67Accident or not, the only way to get right with the universe is to correct ones' mistakes and fight for justice. Or at least the integrity of grammar, logic, and the Venn diagram.
