My 1st experience at a Unitarian Universalist church

It's traditional. Stone-built, fairly cold, wooden pews. Church takes place on Sunday morning and lasts for about 45mins. It consists mostly of hymns, usually the same hymns every week, the sermon last about 6-8 minutes (the best part), then it's over and everyone seems happy at the end. To me it all seems processional, not very interactive, but I think most are ok with that. In all, it's always been what it is, it's not something that enthuses me massively. Then again it's easy, hardest part is being bothered to go on Sunday morning.



'Old country Asian women', is that like aged Asian women that live in rural areas?

Holy yawn. That is traditional and a sermon only 6-8 minutes? I never heard of such a thing unless it was me shutting off the TV and cutting a pastor short. That IS a very traditional church. If the sermons are good, then that's great. The rest is just church business and the preferred way to worship which can come in many many styles. That is just not my style. That's grandma's church.

Churches only change if the people want it to that's why it's ironic that modern churches pushed for their own style, though the message is still basic Bible stuff and a progress UU church doesn't think to bother to change. I'm multiply redundant now.

As for "old country Asian women"- ha ha. I should say women from old Asian countries who are old fashioned. Semantics is such a pain sometimes. ha.
 
how many different churches are there now? its like a new group/church forms every yr?
That's kind of like counting the number of angels that can dance on the head of a pin, isn't it? Okay, you have all the mainstream Christian/Moslem/Hebrew/Buddhist/Toaist religions. Then include subgroups like Jehovah's Witnesses, 7th Day Adventists, Christian Scientists, Scientologists, throw in the various pagan/wiccan/witch/heathen/satanic traditions, then try to include cults based on one of the existing religions/movements/traditions? And don't forget traditional, ancestral based practices. The mind boggles, really.
 
Its is most certainly not a sin and in fact its the 11th commandment bro of my book bro. Ye shall score the best and most slutty slam pig poon in church... I mean for example check out the torpedo tits on this chick ^^^^^ My god what a blessing...

Yeah, it's exponential. When the Protestants finally broke away after no resolution, it's been 1+1, then, 2x2, 4x4, etc...

And now there are so many different kinds and styles and movements, that's why, once again per my OP, why do the UU folks not bother to change it up a bit and be less .... churchy? I'm still mystified...

Oh, and per the Coptic Christians, I wish I knew more about the loose "Christian" churches before Constantine created the Catholics and the oxymoron "universal" Catholic church concept. I guess the UU are stealing the term back. No offense to Catholics. They just believe size matters...

In the U.S, The Church has lost most of that attitude in recent years. It was always more humble over here, but more so now. When we were in Spain and Germany last Summer for some Formula One races though I did imagine there was the historical amount of grandiose pomposity in Europe.

The Catholic church has done and seen it all. But, with 1,500 (or so) years of history of growth and power struggles, it's just a matter of course. Human beings with ill intention will use any organization to get power and money.

Btw, I am a product of that history as well. My ancestors were Christianized by the Jesuits, the Spanish rulers, the inquisition...etc... and my relatives are still hard core ROMAN Catholic. OLD school, not this modern stuff on the U.S. mainland.

The modern Catholic church is not that different from their early rivals now: the Lutherans, Anglicans, etc... I can see much more leaning towards personal spirituality today than the strict culture of outward reverence for God of the past.
