Have you ever felt you were missing out on the good things church has to offer?

RE: Have you ever felt you were missing out on the good things church has to offer?



I went to a Unitarian church for the good part of a year, and I primarily went for the sense of community and belonging. At the time, I did some intentional 'church shopping', and my impression was that there is a lot of variety within UU churches, ranging from pseudo-Christianity to almost purely secular. It probably helped that the one closest to me that I formed an attachment toward is frequently described as the most atheistic UU church in the city (in a northern, very Democrat and liberal state).

I've been half heartedly poking around, looking into finding a temple, but most of them are far away and I'm not sure I'd fit in.

Oddly enough, the hymnals at UU church kind of creeped me out. It's not particularly musically impressive, and I'm always afraid I'm being subtly brain washed by the process. Give me good old, straight up, Latin mass instead.
