It is not a Christian denomination, and they do not have a Christian doctrine. It's like saying some Jews are Christians, which is true, but irrelevant in comparison to Christian denominations.

There are Christians who attend UU churches and who adhere to Christian principles AND who preach these principles during UU gatherings. Therefore, it is quite relevant.

It is not a Christian denomination, it is a religion in itself. It is a religion which does not require a belief in God, or Christ. Some Unitarians may well be Christians, but that does not make Unitarians a Christian denomination. They do not call themselves a Christian denomination, so why should you?

Quotes:
"Unitarian Universalism is a liberal religion that embraces theological diversity; we welcome different beliefs." "The Unitarian Universalist faith willingly receives people of diverse beliefs (atheists, humanists, Christians, and pagans, to name a few"

LOL I know perfectly well what UU is all about. You are being purposefully obtuse and for that I am finished with this conversation.

Have a happy new year.

Good girl Spit out an insult, and walk away when you realize you are wrong.

Why do you insist on calling them a Christian denomination when they do not wish to be identified as such?

The claim was that unitarian views are differnet from Catholic views, and that should not be a surprises, because unitarians DO NOT have any system of belief (Christian or other), because they are not a Christian denomination, or a denomination of any other religion. Unitarians can be atheist, Jews, Muslims, humanists, etc I simply stated the fact that you can't compare unitarians to Catholics, because the unitarians are not a Christian denimination.

Right, which is why I said unitarians are not a Christian denomination, because they embrace all religions, and beliefs, and atheism. They do not wish to be called a Christian denomiantion, so I am not sure why some posters insist on labeling them as such.

Sadly, your wrong! If you make a claim, you must back that claim with proof and evidence. I will wait for you to provide me with many more examples. The ones below have nothing to do with the discussion of Christmas.

Quote:
In England, Australia, New Zealand and elsewhere in the world there is no war on Christmas, but in the US there is. Come to America and you will see how wishing 'Merry Christmas' is political incorrect, how 'Christmas' has been replaced with 'Holiday', Christmas/Easter break changed to 'Holiday/Spring break', etc.
Here is a great article to get things through that thick skull of your!

Most Jews Wish You a Merry Christmas | FrontPage Magazine

It discusses how some of the most loved Christmas songs are written by Jews.

Whereas the last paragraph is key for you! Those who want to change 'Christmas' to 'Holiday' are not religious Jews. As i keep repeating, I have met and worked with religious Jews, and they have no qualms with Christmas or anything that goes with it.

Quote:
Jewish people have sued a cross in San Diego memorial that has been up for decades people they felt 'offended'. Jewish people sued Sunday closing law in high court, Jews sued states for observing Good Friday holiday, and a Jew wanted to sue the government for observing Christmas as national holiday.
These are non-issue in England.
You just spout utter tripe! What has any of that got to do with Christmas? The only reference and it's not even sourced is 'A JEW', not multiple, not a few, but ONE Jewish person wanting to sue the government. You have a fixation on the Jewish religion and it's not a good one. How about you look at the faults of your own before you criticise that of others.

Is it just the Jews? NO! How many other faiths have their own version of Holiday season?! Yet, you pin it all on the Jewish faith! Muslims, African-Americans, Hindus, Sikhs and hundreds of other religions have a different opinion of what the correct way to greet each other is. (Even though it's a Pagan festival)

Quote:
These are non-issue in England.
I can have my opinion on any issue I so please, (again) having worked for and with Jews, I know more about their first hand opinion on the issue than you do. You just keep talking drivel and hatred towards another faith!

I once again, await the utter nonsense that you will type and make up in order to belittle the Jewish faith. How do I know that? because all of your posts have been against the Jewish religion or constantly telling everyone how Muslim you are.
