I think people mistook my original post about why you shouldn't ask New Age Christians what the beliefs of the UUs or the UBs are. You should find out what the different denominations believe from the scholars of each denomination.

If you are looking for information about the history of religion, or the theological underpinings of a religion compared to another, you go to comparative religion or religious historians or archaeologists for that information.

That was all I was trying to point out--where to go for information. But apparently I wasn't very articulate about it, so I apologize for that. I am an adult survivor of Catholic indoctrination who is a confirmed secular agnostic. I advocate for secularism, not religion.

As to glass being half empty, full, or opaque--I threw the glass away a long time ago and now only drink from the bottle. ;-)
