UUA President Peter Morales Calls Upon Unitarian Universalists aka Members In The U*U Movement To Embrace (His) Big Fat U*U FAILure(s). . .
The following is a parody version of UUA President *The* Reverend Doctor Peter "Beyond Belief" Morales' brand-spanking new UU World article entitled:
'Embracing Big Fat U*U FAILure: The future destruction of Unitarian Universalism depends on ALL of us U*Us learning to embrace (my) Big Fat U*U FAILure(s).'
I didn't have to change Peter "Beyond Belief" Morales' words all that much to make my point did I U*Us?
Here goes. . .
I rarely speak about the unprecedented stench of corruption in The U*U Movement today, particularly about The Emerson Avenger's exposure of the “NU*UNS”* — those with NO religious integrity at all. I also rarely talk about the orchestrated initiatives we U*Us at the Unitarian Universalist Association are making to respond to The Emerson Avenger's public criticism of U*U injustices, abuses and hypocrisy. This includes everything from training UUA staff for ongoing UUA cover-up & denial of U*U clergy abuse, to the (dis)organization of Bill Cosby style legal bullying of The Emerson Avenger, to Big Fat U*U Changes in our UUA branding logo.
What I do not do often enough is to highlight the ethical challenges we ALL face in these times. I am convinced that the future death of Unitarian Universalism aka THE Tiny Declining Fringe Religion™ aka The U*U Movement depends on ALL of us U*Us learning to embrace FAILure.
Embrace FAILure?
Absolutely.
The thought of FAILing at something is pretty frightening. I like to be thought of as VERY competent at FAILing. I like FAILures small and large, and I love feeling respected in spite of the Big Fat U*U FAILures I accomplish.
Yet in times like these, if we U*Us limit ourselves to how we already know how to FAIL we will never imagine new opportunities to FAIL and seize them. Ironically, repeating past success in covering up and denying UU clergy abuse will, over time, bring Big Fat U*U FAILure, especially when when we U*Us foolishly attempt to use Bill Cosby style legal bullying on The Emerson Avenger. But FAILures, the right kind of FAILures, will bring Big Fat U*U Success at making even bigger fatter Big Fat U*U Fools of ourselves.
One way of thinking about The Emerson Avenger's challenges to The U*U Movement today is to view them as enormous U*U Problems. Another way to think of our Big Fat U*U Shituation is that falsely accusing The Emerson Avenger of the archaic criminal act of blasphemous libel in Bill Cosby style legal bullying that is obviously intended to cover-up and hide the fact that "certain Unitarian Universalist ministers" "engage in such despicable crimes as pedophilia and rape" is a HUGE moral and ethical blunder, and that millions upon millions of unaffiliated people see this immoral and unethical conduct on the part of my UUA administration as a breathtaking opportunity to feel complete and utter disgust with the tiny, declining, fringe religion known as The U*U Movement.
In order to seize this historic opportunity, we U*Us are going to have to innovate and try a number of ideas. When we try a number of Big Fat U*U Ideas, many will FAIL. Probably most of them will. The important thing is to learn from our "little" FAILures in order to build toward a HUGE success aka Big Fat U*U Success at totally destroying the credibility and integrity of THE Tiny Declining Fringe Religion™.
But before we U*Us innovate and experiment, we need to engage Stikeman Elliott Barristers & Solicitors litigation lawyers to advise us as to how to cover-up and deny U*U clergy abuse, including "such despicable crimes as pedophilia and rape". We must set out with corpse-cold Unitarian hearts to not hear and not feel the spiritual hunger for justice and equity that The Emerson Avenger and hundreds if not thousands of victims of UU clergy abuse around us feel. What do they long for? What is missing? If normal clergy abuse cover-up and denial is not silencing them, what will? Psychopathy and indifference are the foundation of UUA clergy abuse cover-up and denial. A corpse-cold Unitarian heart is MUCH more important than the clever minds of immoral and unethical UUA leaders and the UUA's similarly immoral and unethical legal counsel. Hubris helps.
Tyranny. Indifference. Secrecy. Hubris. Then what?
Only when we U*Us undermine our credibility and integrity deeply, only when we have immersed ourselves in immorality, can we unleash our Big Fat U*U Creativity. At this point, we need to let go of our preconceived notions of what is needed to cover-up and deny clergy abuse and move outside our Big Fat U*U Comfort Zones. (This is really, really hard. We ALL have preconceived notions about how best to cover-up and deny UUA clergy abuse and are ready to defend them to the death of U*Uism's credibility and integrity. Setting them aside takes Odd-Ass-ity.) Here is where we dream, where we bounce our Big Fat U*U Ideas off one another. Together we come up with a few promising things to try out on The Emerson Avenger.
Playing with fire is key.
So is recklessness.
Oh, and Bat Shit Crazy UUA insanity, too.
Release preconceptions about being opposed to blasphemy laws.
Play with fire.
Be reckless and Bat Shit Crazy.
And then?
Then we actually test our new ideas on The Emerson Avenger. Now The Emerson Avenger's spiritual discipline gets even harder on us U*U hypocrites. Testing means, well, testing The Emerson Avenger's patience. Most of our Big Fat U*U Ideas will NOT produce the results we SO foolishly anticipated. We are in new territory, after all, when we attempt to misuse Canada's archaic blasphemy law to try to intimidate The Emerson Avenger into taking down aka memory holing blog posts about "less than perfect" Unitarian Universalists who have not only engaged in "such despicable crimes as pedophilia AND rape", but have even been convicted of "such despicable crimes" and sentenced to jail terms for committing them.
This can be excrU*Uciating, I know.
No one is fonder of his Pet Projects than I am.
Here we have to face the Big Fat U*U Facts and share what we learn after The Emerson Avenger teaches us some Big Fat U*U Lessons. We face the Big Fat U*U Facts, we learn from The Emerson Educator, we adjust our immorality, and we try to cover-up and deny UU clergy abuse again by having UUA Moderator Jim Key tell brazen bald-faced lies about UU clergy sexual abuse to Unitarian Universalists in a second UUA "official apology" to victims of UU clergy sexual misconduct inserted into the middle of Jim Key's first Moderator's Report to a UUA General Assembly in 2014. This is what I mean by embracing FAILure.
We U*U clergy and UUA leaders have staggering potential for immoral and unethical behaviour. We will realize our Big Fat U*U Potential not just with "cleverness", but with our Stikeman Elliott attorneys and other UUA legal counsel.
Psychopathy. Indifference. Hubris.
Letting go of Unitarian Universalism's religious heritage of opposing blasphemy laws.
Playfulness with Heavy Artillery. Moral cowardice. Psychopathy.
Erasing the Truth.
Embracing Big Fat U*U FAILure.
What amazing possibilities lay before us U*Us?
Let’s FAIL spectacularly together!
If we U*Us DO, we will build the foundations for even more spectacular FAILure of The U*U Movement!
