LOL. A lifetime ago, I dated a young woman who was UU, and went with her one time to a UU Fellowship.

I’m an open-minded guy, but all the Kumbayah got to me damned quick.

Of course, once I went to a Friday sermon with a guest imam from Egypt; it was being simultaneously translated into German on a video screen, but Arabic can be - to Western ears - a someone harsh sounding language. The imam was telling us that God commands us to love our fellow men, to look after orphans and the poor, etc., but the way it came across, the way it sounded, made the young German woman who was sitting to my right (ŧhis was a gender-integrated mosque) ask me, “Are you sure that translation is accurate, because it sounds to me like a declaration of war”.
