Hmm... by that do you mean to elaborate on the point that A=A... in that A's attributes define A?

That could be a good way of putting it. I just believe that all people have value, if for no other reason than the fact that they are people.

Quote:I can see that definition of 'spirit'/'spiritual growth' Smile It (Unitarian Universalism) seems a great deal like existentialism to me... would that be a correct observation, Secularone?

Well, since it's my definition, I suppose I can agree with that analysis. But it's important to remember that not all UU's adopt my definition and I don't have a problem with them having their own.

When it comes to collaborating with theists, I am resistant to collaborating with them in any way that would further dumb-down agendas. On the other hand, one could argue correctly that I am collaborating with theists by working with anyone, including theists who share and promote my values.
I don't consider my values to be a religion.

And while there are theists in UU congregations, there are no Fundamentalists. There are representations of many religious backgrounds.
