Beware The Ides Of March President Morales. . .
UUA President Peter Morales has published an article in The Huffington Post today en*titled 'What Is Universalism?' In this article President Morales tries to cash in on whatever free publicity for The Tiny Declining fringe Religion that Rob Bell's new book 'Love Wins' might generate. Here is the comment that I posted in response to UUA President Peter Morales' disingenuous self-serving article -
What UUA President Peter Morales *really* welcomes is the free publicity for what he himself quite justifiably describes as "a tiny, declining, fringe religion" that Rob Bell's move towards Christian Universalism could potentially generate for Unitarian Universalism. Contemporary U*Uism has very little to do with bona fide Christian Universalism. Genuine Christian Universalists represent but a teensy tiny portion of the The U*U Movement these days, and they seem quite disillusioned with today's Unitarian Universalism which allows anti-Christian intolerance, and broader anti-religious intolerance, to flourish. In fact Christian Universalist U*U minister Rev. Scott Wells recently blogged that he was giving up Unitarian Universalism for Lent. . .
Rev. Kristin Grassel Schmidt recently wrote -
"The hatred of Christianity seems to me to be the elephant in the UUA’s proverbial room. . . I’m angry at the hypocrisy of an Association of congregations that has largely abandoned its theological traditions."
President Morales has been neither tolerant nor kind in his dealings with me and other victims of U*U clergy misconduct. He most certainly does not always "stand on the side of love". He turns a blind eye to U*U bigotry and other U*U injustices and abuses.
In fact Rev. Morales is a rather intolerant atheist himself. He trashed Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, as "obsolete religions" that "lead to tribalism, violence, suspicion, hatred, and oppression" and "contribute to the darkness" of "hatred, injustice, prejudice, ignorance" in his speech announcing his candidacy for UUA President.
