I had a dear friend who was Unitarian. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the church is a combination of spiritual and humanistic teachings?

Ahh...I am now entering the safe zone...

Hello, everyone. Read another frustrating post and decided to post here instead. I really want to post something over there, but I'll refrain...no good will come of it anyway. I'm not really looking for any responses...I just needed to get this out of my system...my silent scream.

Thank you everyone for being here.

Awwww sorry Bam....it happens and it is often best to simply remove yourself from the discussion.

I'm not always sucessful, but I try to just post my esh once and then move on if the thread is upseting me. But sometimes i screw that up!

I feel exactly the same way. I don't come over here as often as I should but I am glad this place is here.

I assume this is regarding other sub forums? (fora?)

i'm blissfully ignorant...! I only check "secular connections" and "secular 12 step"... I hear enough hp mumbo jumbo elsewhere!

this is my secular sober refuge... So glad this place is here...


= tongue in cheek / no offence meant

Spark sometimes its fun to venture out, it can be amazingly annoying too, but there are some good people on the other threads.

Just read a few of their posts and you can tell where they stand, but even god botherers have valuable experience.

Just go la la la over the really strange bits.

Hello, my name is Katie, and I am addicted to debating with god-people even though it does nothing but p!ss both of us off.

I read through this whole thread which goes back to the beginning of time. It made for a good read and the above line was bang on and real funny. What does HP mean anyways? Horsepoop?

THC, lol...Nands does it again!

I was thinking today that higher power to me is just like a higher self..the self I would rather be, a bit like in the cartoons where the guy has an angel on one shoulder and a devil on the other...when I try to do the right thing I am happier and therefore less need to want to drink.
We all know "the right thing" to do without having to apply logical thought to it, the part of me that knows is my higher self.

Just waffling here, I am on a greasy food high. LOL

BTW if one more person tells me to find god and work the steps when I have a bad day, I think I might just freaking lose it.
