    UU Week 3

    That's wonderful, Steve. Glad that you are liking the Baltimore congregation. :)

    Buddhist inspired popular songs

    Don't know if it's Buddhist but Live's "Lightening Crashes" is about reincarnation, and it's in the rock category.

    You get out of it what you put into it.

    Is Tao = consciousness?

    No dear, I get it. It's like the apparent but not actual contradiction in Buddhism where, to attain nirvana one must be free of desire, including the desire to attain nirvana. What strikes me as funny is your repeatedly admonishing people to stop the striving that creates duality when you...

    Is Tao = consciousness?

    Oh, it wasn't just the use of the word "I." It was also/more the word "attempt."

    Is Tao = consciousness?

    The combination of these two sentences struck me as funny. :D

    My first UU service.

    Liking two Sundays in a row is a good sign. And you're right, the first visit is the hardest. I almost didn't go in my first Sunday. :o In my experience, even the sermons that are focused on the spiritual will have a bit of politics, just to ground it in reality. And vice versa, hopefully...

    My first UU service.

    So Steve, were you able to go back this Sunday? Were you able to talk to any more congregants? :)

    My first UU service.

    SageTree, namaste. Your perspective is always welcome. :) One of the things I've learned while working in faith-based advocacy is that there are a lot of really cool, progressive, wonderful Christians of all stripes. In my work I interact regularly with Catholics, Episcopalians, and...

    Is Deism really a religion?

    I wasn't asking for it to be removed from the discussion of religion. I was asking why it was a DIR. As I've pointed out, it has a forum under "Theological Concepts." It's the only one that is listed under both "Theological Concepts" and as a religion under the DIRs.

    My first UU service.

    Yeah, Bill could not have done that because, as you said, UUs were divided on that. During the last General Assembly in Phoenix, he was on a panel and when it came to the question/answer period someone went to the mic, looked to Bill and very dramatically said "You have disappointed me!"...

    My Chalice lighting altar! Do you have a home Chalice?

    I meant more than that but I'll take the agreement. :D

    My first UU service.

    People have suggested the Episcopal church to me, and maybe I'm being unfair and should check them out more closely, but I have the impression that they are very Anglo. And I don't just mean racial demographics. I mean culturally. In Catholicism there is liberation theology, which as you know...

    My Chalice lighting altar! Do you have a home Chalice?

    Yes, that one intentionally represents both Unitarianism and Universalism. Yes, but I'm not talking about a cup-shaped container of burning oil. Of course every culture has used something like that, and not just for religious reasons. That would be like me claiming that candles belong to us...

    My Chalice lighting altar! Do you have a home Chalice?

    By my understanding of events, yes we did. Who do you think invented the flaming chalice?
