They do not believe that God is fickle, answering some prayers and ignoring others. They do not look upon God as a deity to be feared. One fundamental attribute of God is that He is good. If we fall short of these goals, it is because we have separated our mind from God, and allowed negative thoughts to intrude. We need only to quietly turn within ourselves to contact Him.
Unity follows a form of pantheism.
God exists in all things. Rather, they look upon Jesus as a great healer, miracle worker, and mystic who had a direct access to God. They believe that his actions can be emulated by believers today. One's life is to be dominated by love, and compassion, even toward one's enemies. They emphasize that humans are created in the image and likeness of God, and are thus not intrinsically evil or sinful.
