Your views would easily fit into the Unitarian Universalist Church I attend, for the simple reason that the place is totally without dogma. There are many differences among the various Unitarian congregations. Some are more "Christian" than others. But at my congregation, the overriding principle is that virtually any point of view is accepted.

I'm not trying to be offensive. I sincerely want to know. What is the point of such a church?

You're not being offensive, it's a legitimate question, and to answer it completely would take a while.

But to simplify totally, the point is to teach tolerance and acceptance of other point of views. In many ways, it is akin to ethical humanism.

If you want to avoid explaining all of this, describe yourself as "Non-Denominational." It means nothing, yet seems mostly Christian, but not dogmatic or fundamentalist. If you're looking for a church, but Unitarian seems a bit too undefined, look for a Vineyard in your area.

You have a vague awareness of something that you cannot describe but you can certainly feel it. Some things trigger it, like a koan, or a verse in the koran, or a dog chasing a squirrel, or a Coke can rolling down the street. You are a gnostic. The Empire Never Ended.
