Unitarian*Universalist Ministers aka U*U Clergy Have The Right To Call People Names And/Or Speak To Them With Disrespect. . . I Have It In Writing.

In a blog post entitled 'Don't call me Bitch, BOY!' U*U seminarian Lizard Eater writes about how she dealt with a potty-mouthed U*U teenager "jokingly" calling her nine year old daughter a "bitch" in church last Sunday. Here is the comment that I submitted in response to her blog posts in which LE asserts that no one has the right to call her daughter names or speak to her with disrespect. . .

"We talked about the fact that no one has the right to call her names or speak to her with disrespect."

Quite regrettably that is not really true LE. The UUA and its very aptly named Ministerial Fellowship Committee have made it abundantly clear to me that U*U ministers have the right to call me and other people names or speak to me and other people with not only considerable disrespect but outright hostility and contempt.

In case anyone unfamiliar with this blog doubts what I said in that comment I will simply refer them to this Emerson Avenger blog post which shows that the UUA's very aptly named Ministerial Fellowship Committee, under the rather dubious leadership of former UUA Presidential candidate Rev. Diane Miller, pretended that it was "within the appropriate guidelines of ministerial leadership" for the bigoted fundamentalist atheist "Humanist" U*U minister Rev. Ray Drennan to belittle and malign my monotheistic religious beliefs as being nothing but "silliness and fantasy", contemptuously dismiss the revelatory mystical experience which informed my religious beliefs as being a "psychotic experience" and angrily insist that I seek "professional help" immediately, and put the icing on the proverbial cake by falsely and maliciously labeling Creation Day as "your cult". As if that was not enough to prove that the UUA effectively gives insulting and abusive U*U clergy the right to call people names and/or speak to people (or about people) with not only deep disrespect but outright hostility and contempt top-level UUA administrators Rev. Tracey Robinson-Harris and the current Executive Secretary of the Ministerial Fellowship Committee Rev. Beth Miller later pretended that it was acceptable for Rev. Victoria Weinstein to insult and defame people with complete impunity on her pseudonymous Peacebang blog.
