Hello all,

I was curious if anyone has stumbled across this term? A couple of years back I came across it, and it happened to be a perfect fit for me in the realm of religion and spirituality. After obsessive research it fit very much the same way alcoholism, indigo, and now Asperger's did. I have gone into nearly everything on the web that I could find and have tracked it's blossoming over the years. I have found other like minded individuals that help to propel this forward and was just curious about any thoughts or questions regarding this topic. You can find a link to the only book written on it in my profile. I guess technically it's two books, but it's a compilation of sorts...an ongoing bible, if you prefer....

Out of curiosity, how would you distinguish Omnism from Unitarianism?

Yes, modern Unitarianism is very Omnistic. And in a different way the Bahia faith also has very Omnistic ideas (as I understand it).

Correct. In my opinion, however, Omnism is something that remains more fluid, as there are really no rigid beliefs, or anything of the ilk. It's more of an attempt at unison without regard to wholly accepting any doctrine that has either been tinkered with, or suggests damnation if you don't apply your life to "said rules of yore".
