Bible Note: I hope this isn't too out of place, but a Unitarian friend of mine showed this to me once. It is to be sung to the familiar Gilbert and Sulivan tune. I think it is kind of cute and my friend assured me it was quite accurate in its depiction of Unitarians: I am the very model of a modern Unitarian, Far broader than a Catholic Hindu Jew or Presbyterian. I know the world's religions and can trace their roots historical From Moses up to Channing all in order categorical. I'm very well acquainted too with theories theological, On existential questions I am always wholly logical About most any problem I am teeming with a lot of views I'm full of fine ideas that should fill our church's empty pews. I quote from Freud and Jung and all the experts psychological I'm anti nuke, I don't pollute I'm chastely ecological In short, in matters spiritual, ethical, material I am the very model of a modern Unitarian I use the latest language; God is never Father or the Lord But Ground of Being, Source of Life or almost any other word I never pray, I meditate, I'm leary about worshipping I serve on 10 committees none of which accomplish anything I give to worthy causes and I drive a gas conserving car I have good UU principles (although I'm not sure what they are) I'm open to opinions of profound or broad variety Unless they're too conservative or smack of righteous piety I formulate agendas and discuss them with the best of em But don't ask me to implement, we leave that to the rest of em In short in matters spiritual, ethical, material I am the very model of today's religious liberal. :-) |
