What exactly is "Blue MAGA"?

And which #UnitarianUniversalist congregation "drove out the minister for preaching about #WhiteSupremacy"?

Doing so would be in violation of #UUprinciples aka #UUvalues.

In my 30+ years of direct personal experience & observation of #UnitarianUniversalism, I have found that most Unitarian Universalists, including most #UUAclergy & #UUAleaders, don't take UUism's claimed #UUprinciples aka #UUvalues very seriously.

In fact they often make a complete mockery of them.

I agree Paul but, as you probably already know, the "special principles" of #UnitarianUniversalism are actually quite "basic" #principles that most "Western" people agree with.

You're 100% correct that the #UUA is guilty of #SelfContradiction in this matter.

#UUvalues
The Seven Principles
For some within Unitarian Universalism, there are seven Principles which reflect deeply-held values and serve as a moral guide.

I hear you Paul, but you did say you were "raised Unitarian", so I thought you could apply the #UUvalues aka #UUprinciples you were raised with to the UUA's disgraceful misuse of #BlasphemyLaw in #UNethical #ChildSexAbuse cover-up #LegalBullying.

I received an invitation from an old friend to join her for her Sanse community’s Fet Gade, Day of the Dead, celebration at the end of October. What a gift. Experience the breadth and depth of human wisdom!

I'm looking for #UnitarianUniversalists who are committed to honouring & upholding UUism's #7principles & other #UUvalues, especially when it comes to holding corrupt #UUAleaders accountable for decades worth of #UUA cover-up & denial of #ClergySexAbuse.

LOL! Ever so normal Unitarians aka Unitarian Universalists are accusing me of #BlasphemousLibel for blogging about "such despicable crimes as pedophilia and rape" committed by pedophile*rapist #UUAclergy.

Who knew #UUism holds pedophiles & rapists to be sacred & holy? 🤣😇

Rev. Karen Johnston said her #UUvalues of “justice, equity, generosity, interdependence and transformation" call her "to actively not cooperate with the system of cruelty that is fueled by this center."

Can I look forward to her actively not cooperating with #UUA #ClergySexAbuse #CoverUp & #Denial?

#UnitarianUniversalist minister Rev. Karen Johnston, who explained that her #UUvalues of #justice, #equity, generosity, #interdependence & transformation call her to actively not cooperate with ICE cruelty, is probably #complicit in #UUA #ClergySexAbuse cover-up & denial.

Most #UUAclergy are. . .

I hear you.

#UnitarianUniversalism looks good in terms of its stated #UUprinciples & other #UUvalues, but too many #UnitarianUniversalists, including #UUAclergy & #UUAleaders, abjectly FAIL, & even obstinately refuse, to practice what #UUism preaches.

"Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children, play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood."

This weekend, for Earth Day, the children will lead the service celebrating our sacred interdependence with the planet. #Fredrogers #UUValues
Fred Rogers sits with his hands gently crossed. He has a kind smile and kind face. His face is thin and long, his hair is dark comb over with whispers of gray. His face has laugh lines around his mouth and eyes. You can tell he is a kind person. The quote -"Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children, play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood."

This Sunday, we're shining a spotlight on Trans Joy. While trans joy might not always be the main focus of the stories we come across, there's so much happiness within the trans community. It's really important that these joyful stories are celebrated loudly and proudly. #transvisibility #UUvalues
Trans colors and flags are on the background. A person happily wave a trans flag. The quote says "Trans Joy is Beautiful"

A call to action echoes the heart of our Unitarian Universalist faith: justice, compassion, and integrity.
Let’s not just speak our values—let’s live them out in bold, imperfect, and deeply human ways.

So much fun today teaching children, youth & adults how to handsew/make JIGLPETs (sounds like jigglepet. Fun way to remember #UUvalues : justice, interdependence, generosity, love, pluralism, equity and transformation.)

#grateful for UU community
