UM: in re this, which I found via New Covenant:
"Too many of our lyrics are embarrassingly personalistic, about Jesus and me. Personal intimacy with God is such a wonderful step above a cold, abstract, wooden recitation of dogma."
Some of us enjoy the dogma. This does make me think that perhaps those of us with more, shall we say, nerdish leanings are probably bound to be outside and idiosyncratic within the church, which is either depressing or inspiring, depending on how you think about it.
"Thou shalt not extinguish thine anger, but shall master it,
that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
to wrong causes."
