    Yet another Unitarian joke

    But I was listening to Garrison Keiler and he was doing a bit about heaven. Someone asked, "Any Unitarians here". "Oh yes, we have quite a few, they usually don't stay in one place, they go around with petitions." LOL! There was also something quite funny about Lutherans, they live near the...

    More on Fed. Prosecutor of NM

    This is a really fascinating story. This guy, he was one of the 8 federal prosecutors fired by Alberto Gonzalez. He has maybe gotten the most attention, and he should after reading this. This guy, who wrote this is Palast, who is a BBC journalist. This is quite an interesting story. Even...

    Refreshing drink with more than a few qualifiers??

    I just found out that the only place I can get Pappy's Sassafras tea concentrate in the city is not stocking it any more. I really do like sassafras and it can be iced or hot. The trouble is that sassafras tea was taken off the market due to a substance called sassafrole, which is carcigenic...

    Microlending for amateurs (Kiva.org)

    This is a very neat "charity" if you would call it that. It is at www.kiva.org There is also a nice little summary on: http://www.pbs.org/frontlineworld/stories/uganda601/collage.html Anyway, I saw a segment on this on Frontline World. Kiva is a not for profit in CA and they have teamed up with...

    Pilgrim UCC deals with sexual offender as a member

    I feel this is the best place on the forum, since we deal with being open and affirming congregations. This story was on the ABC news, though it looks like it has actually been around for awhile. Pilgrim UCC is in CA I think. And a guy who has served time in prison tried to join the UCC church...

    Bento (lunch) boxes vs same old same old

    I read a recent thread on vegan lunches. I am not vegan but I am getting tired of the same old thing every day, though it appears fairly healthy (turkey on whole wheat, yogurt, fruit, raw carrots). I sometimes bring salads either homemade or deli and homemade soup, but rarely. Bento is a...

    Best reporting on ABC I have seen in years!

    This doesn't all that much belong in the liberal forum, but I definitely wanted this as a non-debate topic. Bob Woodruff, a fair to midland reporter/anchor in the past just produced the most outstanding bit of reporting I have seen on ABC in years. As many of you know he was seriously injured...

    Holy week approaches-- I'm feeling UUer

    Hi, Well I noticed in the church calendar that holy week with it's Ash Thursday (or is that Wednesday), Palm Sunday, etc etc etc is here early this year. I think I'm feeling more Unitarian than Considering Christ. OTOH we had an awesome service Sunday in celebration of black women...

    Before you support Guiliani-- read this

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/low/programmes/newsnight/6362783.stm This has to do with Guiliani's political connections with a guy that does "vulture funds" that grab up money that should be paying off third world debts. Of course, Bush's hands are dirtier on this, as he could stop this practice...

    What do Moslems here think of Reza Aslan?

    Just wondering. Reza Aslan is a Middle East expert (CBS news, etc) and writer. Has written the book "No God but God". I have heard him on several small segments on tv. Last night I heard him on Book TV on CSpan where he debated the now famous atheist Sam Harris (writer of "The End of Faith"...

    Reza Aslan vs Sam Harris

    Last night I heard an interesting debate with Reza Aslan (Progressive Moslem) vs Sam Harris (extremist atheist). It was also hosted by Johnathon Kirsh (Jewish) who had his own interesting comments to the discussion. Reza Aslan, imo, was a much stronger debater, but maybe I was a bit biased. I...

    Play Pumps.org

    I have no idea where to put this, but I just saw this on Frontline world the other day. Throughout the 3rd world there are many thousands of people who die or are sickened by lack of potable water. This is such a cool solution: cheap, totally renewable, and just plain cool. The idea is to...

    Fundamentalist Atheists?

    I heard an interesting sermon at the UU today. (Yes I did go today, and probably will go again). Anyway, it was "The Defense of Atheism". She talked about Harris' books and Dawkins book, and how they were anti-liberal. It goes by the extreme stand they take, that they are right, everyone else is...

    Coincidence??

    I noticed something interesting. Just about all posts in this group have authors in one of two general geographic locations-- the British Isles and the Southwestern US (TX, Colorado, NM, etc.). There aren' t too many posters but I think it is interesting. I know people in NM seem to me to be...

    I think I'm "really" a Unitarian??

    Hi, Sorry for what might be a long post. I'll try to subdivide it enough so someone might bother to read it. :-) For all you brave souls here it is: I've been posting around the block for about a month or so-- everything from satanism (no I don't believe in it, but it's interesting) to...

    Hi!

    I've been reading a day or so. I was/am very active in a progressive Christian forum but things are getting a little bloggish over there so someone suggested I try it over here. Ya'll seem friendly enough anyway. Though I go to/am active in a UCC church in the Southwest. I am not sometimes...
