It's you. I think I could sum it up better as "Do no harm" or "Think about
how you can be part of the good that exists in the world." I know a lot of
Unitarians and each one of them is kind, generous, and rational. It's a big
craze among college professors. My mother recently joined the Unitarians
(converted isn't a good word for it since they do not believe that
religions are necessarily mutually exclusive).
And although I do not count myself among their numbers (despite my rating
on the test) I admit that I was disturbed that a self-proclaimed religious
person would mock another religion like you just did. Obviously
Unitarianism isn't strict enough for you and doesn't dictate enough rules
for your taste, but that doesn't mean that it doesn't have a system of
beliefs. In fact, its system of belief dictates that the thing that you
just did that disturbed me is a bad thing.
Or in other words, if you don't want people to hold your beliefs against
you, don't hold theirs against them.
This rational flame was underwritten by the Unitarian Church. Or something.
