UU exists because of a merger for two Christian sects. The current state of whether UU is labeled a Christian denomination is irrelevant to my argument. It still honors the Bible as a primary source of wisdom. The current state it exists in, some weird post modern soup of incoherent religious and political ideological fusion, is a testament to its lack of interest in rationality.
When I first joined Unitarian Universalism, over 2/3 of the denomination were religious humanisnts. Only about 10% to 20% were Unitarian Christians. So that minority considers the Bible as the primary source of wisdom. But that is just not so for a humanist.

“is a testament to its lack of interest in rationality.”
Or absolutes and facts.
And a lack of interest in Christ. It’s not a Christian church.

I said “a” primary source of wisdom, not “the”. Do you personally think the Bible is a source of wisdom? How about Mein Kampf?
Tell me: what do you feel was Achille’s biggest sin and what do you feel was Jesus’ biggest sin?
