The unitarians are highly linked with AA. Many of them beleive drinking is wrong and in fact they serve juice at communion instead of wine. Does that make them less christian?

uh. the unitarian church isn't christian just as it isn't buddhist or muslim or jewish or xyz. and your ignorance aside, serving grape juice over wine isn't the issue. The issue at hand is that Jesus drank alcohol. There is are historical, biblical and cultural reasons to believe this. Jesus is supposedly the son of god and therefore perfect. Jesus was a perfect human that all christians should strive to be like. Now the problem comes in when you put yourself ABOVE god by stating that you are right about something where god was wrong. Now that causes a conflict, because a follower of god can never be above god, let alone correct god. That's a major issue.Quote:

same rules don't apply to people. it simply means you disagree with them. people can be wrong, god can't. now if you want to think that you're right and other people are wrong makes you better than them, then that's your call.Quote:

There is always a reason and it seems to get tougher and tougher to call yourself edge every day and that sucks. The point of edge is to not pollute your body, in my opinion it has no precedence over what others want to do with their own bodies. I suppose if thats wrong I'm not edge
yeah, but the whole point of this discussion is for people to live in accordance to their beliefs and not hold onto labels for the sake of it. IF you're going to be a christian, then you should be a real christian and live in full accordance to those beliefs. If you're going to be edge, same thing applies. There are however times when people will claim to be apart of 2 groups with conflicting beliefs. This is one of those cases. If you're going to be a devout, honest and good christian, saying that you know better than god isn't possible.Quote:

Alright I guess I completely understand that. If you are edge do it because you fully beleive in it, not for the sake of the label. Although I still disagree with some things that were said here, I understand what you are saying so I will leave the issue alone.
