Why Do Unitarian Universalists aka U*Us Continually Deny Unitarian Universalism's Monotheistic Judeo-Christian Religious Heritage?
Thirtysomething SAHM U*U blogger with three kiddos Plaidshoes was "just asking" last night in the 'FRUSTRATED WITH THE UUA'* post on her 'Everyday Unitarian' blog.
Here is how I responded to Plaidshoes' Unitarian question that *could* be posed almost every single day these days. . .
You forgot the ever so obligatory Unitarian question mark when you asked -
Why do we continually deny our heritage.
One answer to your question, courtesy of UUA President Peter Morales, *might* be because Judaism and Christianity (to say nothing of Islam and other "old religions") are "obsolete religions, created for another time" that only "lead to tribalism, violence, suspicion, hatred, and oppression" and "contribute to the darkness" of "hatred, injustice, prejudice, ignorance". . .
But don't take my word for it. Take Rev. Peter Morales' word for it, as posted to the internet in his 'Religion For A New America' sermon which recycles his rather questionable "stump speech" announcing his candidacy for UUA President. The YouTube video of Rev. Peter Morales delivering this "stump speech" cum sermon, along with the original internet posting of the full text of the sermon have been "memory holed".
Come to think of it.
It is not so much a question of denying Unitarian Universalist religious heritage as outright trashing it.
We light this Chalice
To bring embarrassing U*U Truth to Light. . .
We light this Chalice
For the heat of lighting a fire under hypocritical U*U asses.
We light this Chalice
For the energy of The Emerson Avenger's U*U Jihad.
