I am a Unitarian Universalist, but it wasn’t in till today I was introduced to a very odd Internet phenomenon; http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.c ... BCFLG1.DTL
http://www.uuism.net/uuwiki/index.php?t ... rian_Jihad This is the strangest thing I’ve ever seen!

Dang! I really wanted "Sister Meat Cleaver of Looking at All Sides of the Question," but it's already taken. They'll just have to go on without me.

I got my name. Sister Spikey Mace of Moderation. It fits. I'm sort of glad they nixed the hugging.

So, when is Talk Like a Unitarian Universalist Day?

An Internet Phenomena?!?

O, the vile, maggot-brained spawn of syphilitic, draft-dodging monkey-catchers.

Well, like the dude said:

Whatever happened to ... you know, everything?

Alas! Everything has been taken out by a preemptive strike from the Flaming ICBM of Mild Debate.

In true UU fashion it'll never get much farther than the committee being formed,
if it makes it beyond coffee hour discussion.

At the most, it might be a workshop topic at GA.

But remember the Buddhist realization that if two people see it is a good idea, it will be done.

I have a catchy slogan to chant:

THERE IS AT MOST ONE GOD,
LETS TAKE IT IN TURNS TO BE HIS PROPHET

I'd prefer to take inspiration from Lessing's Nathan der Weise and chant "If we can take it as a working assumption that there is at most one God, then let's take it in turns to be his prophet".

I've always thought it an attractive yet odd religion.
You worship snakes? Come on in!
You pro-life? You be unwelcome, mon!

Oh, boy! Silly names. Let's see ... I wanna be .... um .... how about, Rainbow Hemorrhoid of the Chiff? I think I got that right. It fits the pattern, doesn't it?

In true Unitarian spirit, let's form a committee and discuss this over coffee.

I invite you both to join us at the Humanitarian Beverage Responsibility Committee to discuss whether you really want to discuss your catchy slogans over a beverage steeped in the blood and tears of exploited coffee farmers without health insurance.
