if youre unitarian and universalist you see blessings all around you. the doctrine of universal salvation and the unitary nature of divinity is an astounding mechanism on which to base theological thought. to transcend our lesser, corporeal nature, man is challenged with the salvation of himself, his community, his environment, and his own personal truth. awareneness of natural law is the admission of imperfection, and the struggle of will against the decay of growth over time is the timeless passion with which the mind is colated. whereas the self referent and incomplete postulation of being is an open challenge against nature, natures call is answered with that passion, and rewarded or punished by the acceptance or regection of mans response.
peace on earth, responsible justice, and a free, open search for truth and meaning in sincere and unlimited terms are the mission of true religion, and the responsibility of all men on earth
