II In your comment (and the sig file above) you refer to Unitarian Universalism as a religion. Can you really call it that ? I have three friends who are practicing Unitarians, and in my opinion I would classify it more as a school of philosophical thought than a religion. Religion is defined in my dictionary as "belief in and reverence for a supernatural power recognized as the creator and governor of the universe." I'm under the impression that not all Unitarians share this belief (primarily the school of thought espoused by Universalists before they merged with the Unitarians). Also, do you consider youself to be a Christian? From my own observations and conversations with Unitarians, I do not, but I have heard others argue otherwise. -- Robert J.
