    New Thanksgiving

    NEW THANKSGIVING I dream a dream in which I find myself walking up the steps to a big blue house. A black woman who seems to be working there as a domestic, leans her upper body over mine and embraces me in a warm, sensual, womb-like fashion, as a mother would embrace her child. Gathered...

    Would Christ be Classified as a Liberal or Conservative by Today's Standards?

    It is interesting to calculate whether Jesus, if he were alive today would be a liberal or a conservative. Through comparative analysis and an examination of historical data, we can certainly make some plausible and persuasive points in that regard. But, while I believe some worthwhile ideas...

    God and the Plague - A Dream

    Thank you for your thoughtful comment Gargovic. I especially appreciate your insight into the way the effort to deny the evil in ourselves and our behavior requires a level of self-deceit that may become a part of family tradition or a cultural norm. I think this is how prejudice, bias and to...

    God and the Plague - A Dream

    Plague 1 I dream a dream in which I make the following statement to a group of spiritual friends, including one I believe to be Jesus, with whom I am walking: “You know how we think of God as something, an entity or consciousness that doesn’t need anything outside of itself to feel satisfied...

    Do you think that Donald Trump is a Christian?

    My poem may not be a direct reply to your question but I think you will get the idea... FALSE GODS I. As it is said,“…a woman came with a handful of fine flour to offer to Teras’ idols, which were now in the charge of Abraham. He took a stick and broke all the images except the largest one, in...

    Ah Rome! Crucifier of Jesus Slaughterer of Christian and Pagan alike! It all makes sense now, what Drumph says: "Make America Great Again = Make America Rome Again!" (small hands = big empire?)

    Trying to Find My Religion

    CrazyAfterlife I'm curious as to why life on the other side is so important to a person whose life in this world is just beginning? You are so young... But be that as it may, I have had many dreams about the afterlife including one that came to me not long after my mother died, quoted here...

    A Dream

    The agenda is to stop demonizing, not to pretend there is more agreement than there is, more acceptance of things: racism, misogyny, Islamaphobia, bullying and general authoritarian demagoguery, that should never be accepted. Not to contrive or imagine a harmony that doesn’t exist. As for...

    what keeps you a Unitarian Universalist?

    I have spent time with the Unitarians and I both like and respect the Unitarian community. But Unitarian Universalism is not a religion, it’s a philosophy of religion and for that reason I did not find a home there. An authentic religion can’t be invented the way one would invent a school of...

    A Dream

    I had a dream not long ago in which I heard a voice make the following remark: “Bring balance to the talk.” I immediately had a sense of what the words in the dream meant. I believe they referred to what I now see as an imbalance in both my approach to the current political debate and in the...

    Is being gay a sin according to your religion?

    I don't know what the Bible says or doesn't say about same sex marriage, I haven't studied it with that in mind. In any case, for me, the Bible is not the last word when it comes to what God wants. A Question in a dream: "How do you know what God wants?" The Answer: "You only know by looking...

    Trump’s Fascist Dog Whistle

    Fascism, whatever the dictionary definition, means and has certainly come to mean the endowing of ultimate, inviolable authority in a single individual. Being a fascist doesn't necessarily mean that you are evil. At least in my mind, because of the way the church is structured, the current Pope...

    Trump backed by Christie, Sessions, who next?

    Thank you for an insightful, knowledgeable post. It's hard to know what’s worse, a religious extremist who thinks they are called by God or an amoral, opportunistic bully who thinks they are God. When it comes to trump, one must admit that it's his money and his money alone that makes the man...
