[UUPoly-L] Back to the bank

["Michael Paprocki" <msppbs@itol.com>]

Hi all
Michael Paprocki here yet again,

Still interested in "What do YOU think?"
for anyone who has yet to comment.

Thank you Cynthia, Michael, Roza, and Catherine.
That's three votes. I will take that to the bank, ask to see my portfolio, and reconsider my investments.
I too am sure that Cynthia meant "not." The word "advanced" troubles me somewhat. I'm thinking about whether I was thinking that. Or whether I meant sensitive, compassionate, and caring. I don't know yet. Soul search time.

I do for some reason:
a) strangely appreciate being "put in my place"
and yet I at the same time
b) am a little defensive
In my defense I want to say that the suggestion that I made isn't THAT wild and outragous.
I'm sure (I think) you all would agree that one's choice of a religion says something about a person (maybe even a lot). Wouldn't it then follow that a person's choice of a life style says something about them as well. In fact - I would like to suggest that being a UU doesn't JUST indicate the greater probability of being more open. As a UU - I have met almost exclusively very accepting, kind, gentle, thoughtful, +, people. I'm trying to be fair, but I really don't think that's true of ALL religious denominations. I KNOW there ARE some - but I'm talking about where the bell shaped curve falls (kind of). In the same example - I think we would agree that being a UU RESULTS in (because of conditions) one's being accepting, thoughtful, and +, at least.
Or - and PLEASE tell me if - do you think I'm wrong about that.
And yes - I guess I AM  suggesting more than just beliefs are involved, like in a traditional God or not and that LGBTQ folks should have certain civil rights or not - but personality characteristics, like cooperativeness and role flexability.
But like I said - I'll be at the bank evaluating my investment portfolio for a few days.
And by the way - I intent to forward your comments to my woman friend so she has the benefit of opposing viewpoints.
