What's the deal with Unitarian Univeralism?

Severity leads to cunning.
Shaming leads to lying.
Punishment leads to sadism.

Kindness leads to fairness.
Validation leads to honesty.
Affirmation leads to generosity.

Unitarian Univeralists become wise in their covenanting based on their seven principles. UUs are flexible,  balanced, genuine, and brave. UUs are humble and unassuming because they abide in a respect for the interdependent web of all existence.
