I’ve become interested Unitarian Universalism. It seems to me that the ideal religion would be one that focuses on the common message of all religions (deeper meaning, a guiding force, community, compassion, discipline) without getting too focused on the hocus-pocus. That seems to be pretty close to the central tenet of Unitarianism.

As we were leaving Joey and Alice’s, Alice happened to mention that she was raised in the Unitarian church. Now I regret not asking her about it. My friends Dan and Deb went to one a while back and described it as feeling more like a town hall meeting than a church service. Alice’s comment was sooooort of along the same lines. Should have found out more in person.
