One church.
Many beliefs.
At Pathways, we believe
there is more than one path to truth and
meaning. We find inspiration in the Bible,
world religions, nature, ethics, and
humanism, the life of Jesus, and more.
Pathways is for people who want to
decide for themselves what to believe.
Wow! That's an impressive mixture of contradictory ideas and worldviews. Is that even possible? I think not! This Unitarian Universalist group tries hard to make all these things all-inclusive. However, each religion, especially Christianity, is exclusive by nature. For example, Jesus said that He is "the way, the truth, and the life" and that no one can get to God except through Him (see John 14:6).
What kind of inspiration do they find in the Bible? Better yet, what inspiration do they find in the life of Christ? Their teachings make no sense whatsoever.
Jesus said he is the only way. The Bible agrees with this fact. Pathways, however, says that there are many ways. They claim inspiration in the life of Jesus, but they also claim that Jesus is a liar. Are they actually teaching people to be inspired by someone they believe to be a liar?
Somehow, I don't think the people who attend Pathways are really allowed to decide for themselves what to believe because they are not being presented with the whole truth about reality.
Unfortunately, Pathways isn't the only crazed so-called church in Fort Worth. Westside Unitarian Universalist Church advertises:
Different faiths.
Varied traditions.
One church.
A fellowship of justice, compassion, and respect.
The problem is most people do not do their own thinking. Many people don't even bother making an effort. As my good friend Todd says, "Some people are dumb!"

If, as you say, most people do not do their own thinking, then those people shouldn't go to a Unitarian Universalist church.
I got the impression from your posting that you're making too many assumptions about the church from a few lines on an ad.
Unitarian Universalist churches are for those people who want to develop or expand their own belief system based many sources plus their own ability to analyze. For someone who's not satisfied with his/her religious experience, it's a good place to check out.

universalism seems like individualism, which leads to subjectivity, which leads to subjective truth, which is similar to relative truth, which is nothing more than partial truth, which is actually no truth, which leaves a person to their own devices in order to find 'truth,' which in fact leads a person to their own demise, which, of course, leaves him/her empty...
Paul, why is it that you suggest the Unitarian Universalist church?
