I like the fact that I can take responsibility for my own actions, not God or Satan. I also like the fact that I can embrace reality and have a true understanding that when things happen, it's not because the Universe is out to get anybody, but it is just one of those things that happens. Last but not least, I also like the fact I am free from any religious dogma and embracing my sanity. I protect my mind like it is sacred.
I have to figure it out for myself. Not as set of beliefs that you get at the door, and if you buy them, then you are in. One of the UU principles - a free and responsible search for truth and meaning. It is up to me.
