[close] A space for thoughtful discussion on theology and beyond: meaning, morality, and the depths to understanding human life. This group welcomes diverse traditions, philosophical inquiry, and reflective dialogue about sacred texts, inner life, ethical questions, and the role of religion in the modern world. The goal is not preaching or debate for victory, but understanding, exploration, and respectful exchange of ideas. Remember that respect comes first. Disagree with ideas, not with people. No insults, ridicule, or hostility toward beliefs or non-belief. Feel free to share perspectives, interpretations, and experiences, but this is a discussion space, not a place to persuade others to adopt a faith, so basically no preaching or conversion attempts. Stay thoughtful and on topic, posts should relate to theology, meaning, morality, sacred texts, literature, psychology of belief, or religion in society. Interpretations are welcome, claims of absolute authority are not. All comments and conversations must be in English. Don’t hesitate to open a topic under any theme that has already been featured. If you’re unsure where your topic belongs, you’re welcome to ask in the Open Discussion under the thread titled Topic Creation. And don't forget that we also have a Cafetaria for casual conversation or introductions in the Open Discussion section.

[close] This is the book club for the CUUPS group associated with the Holston Valley Unitarian Universalist Church. We will be using this for group reads, talking about our own personal reading, book recommendations, anything to do with books. Don't forget to introduce yourself and tell us what you're reading. Welcome to the group!

[close] Here's a place to respectfully share opinions and peacefully debate with each other over a variety of topics, including climate, religion, politics, rights, education, and more. We'll make sure you're respected as you debate, no matter what views you have! This group is mostly for people in the US (because of many of the topics covered), but people from other countries are welcome! We want everyone to feel comfortable and respected. Please stay calm, and don't feel obligated to join an argument if you don't want to. Please don't hate on anyone, mock anyone's beliefs, or use slurs. Sometimes I'm not sure which folder to put a topic in, so it might be a bit messy. You can let me know in the Topic Suggestions chat if I should move a topic, or add a new one. Feel free to invite friends to the group to debate with us!
