Am I being immoral by believing in a transcendent creator? [View all]
Am I giving aid and comfort to the fundamentalists? I go to a UU church, and I frequently argue with internet fundamentalists in favor of marriage equality and choice, and against hell. I was once politely told to leave and never return to a fundamentalist youth group I was visiting for arguing for an old Earth and against hell. But is that good enough, or does my belief still support fundamentalism much more than that?
I should say that I believe in this transcendent creator because I think this belief is true. Not because a Bible or a pastor told me so. Nor was I raised in a religious family. We can get into the reason why I think my belief is true if you want, but rest assured that it has nothing to do with "anything goes when it comes to religious belief." I am very much favor of reasoning about religious beliefs.
So what say you?
