I thought boomers were post-World War 2 to early 60s...wasn't Kerry born in 1943?
Yes, the DU thread is authentic moonbat ravings. If you check out the DU site, look for the Religion & Spirituality forum under the heading "Non-Political Forums." And under "DU Groups" they maintain discussion groups on atheism/agnosticism, Christian liberals/progressive people of faith, and ancient wisdom & pagan spirituality. Their ignorance of the Bible is breathtaking. I've seen questions there such as "Do Christians eat ham on Easter as a way of getting back at the Jews?"
They also treat Christianity-espousing fellow libs pretty poorly.
Don't you like the guy in the DU thread who said he went to church and complained that he felt like "God was being shoved down my throat"? Classic!
Please enlighten me, what's DU? Originally the Unitarians (guess they got hooked up with the Universalist later on) were a Deist group. I am guessing they were always considered progressive even in the 19th century (probably big abolitionists). The Wiccan thing is a recent development. For the most part Wiccans are usually not part of congregations..not all are involved in covens (more like a study group)...so I am guessing there were a bunch of Wiccans that wanted the congregation experience (and the usual networking that happens out of that) and the only bunch that would accept them were the UU's. To me the UU's are the closest thing to being an agnostic without claiming agnosticism.
I've read other astoundingly stupid things like that on DU.
You're a braver man than I.
Never been to a UU service. I know it's liberal, don't know about the gay thing...wondering how freaky deaky it would be especially if the congregation has a good sprinkiling of wiccans.
They keep looking, and not finding, because they've rejected the only thing that will satisfy.
I have pity for them.
DU is the playground of the far, far left. You can lurk there, like Free Republic, without joining. I've been lurking there since the presidential election. It's quite an educational experience, but I wouldn't recommend it for everyone.
Me too. They have the innate need to worship, yet they reject God.
LOL! A list of the predominant emotions on DU: hate, fear, helplessness, frustration, self-pity, self-importance, and elitism. Did I leave any out?
>>You know what happens when the Unitarians get pissed at you?
>>They burn a question mark on your lawn.
Ha! heard that one before--said by Tom Rush at one of his concerts...ironically enough, at a U-U church in Marblehead MA
>>You can lurk there, like Free Republic, without joining
Actually as I understand it you CAN'T JOIN unless you're a moonbat. No conservatives allowed.
The Dims can always join the parody religion Church of the SubGenius, which worships a piece of clip art, offers "eternal
salvation or triple your money back" (think about that:
if you're dead, how do you collect?) and promised a "Rupture" in 1998 (only to later say that the year was upside down: it will really happen in 8661).
Well, you can join without being a moonbat but they'll hunt you down ahd "tombstone" you.
DU=Dumbasses Unlimited
And yes, there are now wiccans calling themselves "Christian wiccans". I know because my now ex-wife became one(just one of a few reasons she's now my ex-wife)
Just one: fantasy!
I'm not in the space to contribute much of my time or discretionary funds I need for my mom or to sock away for the future or other goods/services/experiences I want more, but that's my own choice, and it hasn't anything to do with the congregation here.
Somehow this line crystalized all for me.
