Rev. Peter Morales YouTube Video Announcement

Rev. Peter Morales has posted this video of his speech announcing his candidacy for President of the UUA. I recommend that U*Us take the time to view it a pay heed to what Rev. Peter Morales has to say about the current condition of the Unitarian*Universalist religious community aka the U*U World aka "a tiny declining fringe religion."

Here is the comment that I just added to this U*U Tube video. I expect to add some more comments to it later unless Rev. Peter Morales engages in censorship and blocks or deletes my comments. I will also be sending a video response to it. I find it rather unfortunate, and more than a little bit ironic that, after acknowledging that he messes up all the time, Rev. Peter Morales messes up by describing other religions as "obsolete religions" in this announcement speech. . .


So Peter what do you intend to do to address the hatred, injustice, prejudice, ignorance and fear that pervades the U*U World? When will you and other U*Us provide genuine justice, equity and compassion to victims of U*U injustices, abuses and hypocrisy? How much openness and acceptance of God believing people can there be in the U*U World when intolerant fundamentalist atheist "Humanist" U*Us, including U*U clergy, are allowed to insult and abuse God believing people with complete impunity?


Update: The above question was very much in response to the following excerpt from Rev. Peter Morales' sermon titled 'A Religion for Our Time', delivered at Jefferson Unitarian Church in Golden Colorada on January 13, 2008, in which he announced his candidacy for next President of the UUA


We are not called to be a tiny, declining, fringe religion. We are called to feed the spiritually hungry and open our home to the religiously homeless. We are called to heal and empower people so that they can in turn help transform our world. We are called to teach our children compassion, understanding and respect—not indoctrinate them with fear and prejudice. We live in dark times, times filled with hatred, injustice, prejudice, ignorance. Sadly, obsolete religions created for another time contribute to the darkness.
