Jesus' Wife?

The Universalists rejected the concept of Hell.  Everyone was 'saved' and reconciled with God in the afterlife, regardless of any sins committed in life, willingness to repent, etc.

As I understand it, Catholics don't close off the potential for a universal salvation. I know doesn't seem to fit with a lot of the other teachings.

With the Universalists, it was more cut and dry.  There is no Hell, there is no Satan, and for some, there is no sin.

Before the UUA decided to let everyone believe whatever they wanted, they'd also rejected the concept of sin altogether.

[Caliga]

Ah. Thank you. You can understand how there are certain qualities of the UU church that led me astray on that. Not that I don't think UU is cool and all.

Yep, it's a common misconception.

I thought that Catholics thought you were eventually cool so long as you got baptized at some point. You just have to spend a long time getting your soul cleaned.

Universal salvation is going to be awkward when simon wiesenthal runs into Hitler in heaven.

I think it is never going to happen.

Hitler was baptized and Simon Wiesenthal wasn't. No Catholic heaven for him.

Yeah it is best not to think about it.

I think universal salvation means everyone--not just the baptized.

Suicide is a mortal sin.  You get turned into a tree and harpies shit on you.

Oh right. Bummer Hitler.

They'll laugh and say it was all a big misunderstanding.  It'll be like the end of a Three's Company episode.

But Wiesenthal was probably baptized into the Mormon faith after his death so he will always have his own planet in Mormon heaven.

True

See? It all worked out.

By the way, Valmy, do Unitarians believe in Resurrection?

Mart, when asking the question "do Unitarians believe in", the answer is always going to be "maybe" or "some do and some don't".

Unitarianism is really not a religion in the conventional sense.  They have no creed and everyone is welcome no matter what they believe, even if they believe in nothing.  It's really a community of like-minded individuals, not a religion proper.

So they are the Openly Just Social Churchgoers religion, then?

Social Justice Warriors Crusaders?

Guys, I don't know what we will decide regarding Valmy's christian status, but can we all agree now, that whatever we conclude, we will burn Valmy at the stake?

Finally some common sense.
