Dear LJ readers,
You are most likely a UUer, even more likely a YRUUer. I would just like to inform you all that I will most likely not be attending events or even going to church. I love you all, don't get me wrong, but I no longer feel any affiliation to UUism or even YRUUism.
I am of the oppinion that while I have faith, dedication and all that jazz for what I believe in, I have a deep loathing for the church itself, and churches in general. Even religion. Faith, that's good, an idea, a belief, those all work. But it seems to me that an organized religion lables you and makes people less likely to follow thier true convictions. You quit questioning life once you find "the right religion" and I do not think that is right. People also start to believe that if thier religion is right, all other religions must be wrong. I cannot believe this. I am of the oppinino that all religion is the same, just from diferent perspectives, and we as humans cannot see the whole picture, just a small part and everybody's diferent small part is different. That does no mean thet you are all looking at diferent things, just that you cannot comprehend the magnitude of the situation. I feel I must stepp away from the grips of relligion to not only learn more about my faith and beliefs, but also about myself and my convictions.
I believed that UU and YRUU were diferent from all the others, and that they had changed me for the better. It seems I was wrong.
Love and kisses, not to mention a goodbye,
Cecilia Blake
