I used to get hauled off to the Unitarians -- and later, the "UUs" -- first by my stepfather, and then by my husband. But I was never comfortable with them. They were a little too goody-goody for me, too predictable, not rigorous enough intellectually.

For example, it always cracked me up when the local UU Society would have a vegetarian potluck supper in honor of World Hunger Day. Just how was my eating beans supposed to help the starving people of the Third World??

You used to be a Unitarian? From Catholic to Unitarian and back to Catholic again? (I was once Catholic, but I never really was a Unitarian.) Interesting progression! How did that happen?

<The Unitarians claim not only John Adams, but John Quincy Adams, Tom Payne, and Thomas Jefferson, not to mention Millard Filmore, Howard Taft, and Adlai Stevenson.>

Oh, what a HOOT! The conservative Christians mostly abhor Unitarians, from what I have read in the past at the Ask God thread, at least.
