How low can Donald Trump go? Is Congressman Dingell in hell?

Obviously Donald Trump does not share our Universalist's beliefs about heaven and hell. Donald doesn't know, not even himself, that there is no hell and even Donald will not go to hell.

Ask Alexa: What is the moral of the story of Adam and Eve?

Alexa: What is the lesson of the story of Adam and Eve?

The lesson of the story of Adam and Eve is that every one born loses their innocence by separating themselves from the Love Of God and becoming socialized into the world of the ego by their family and society. We lose our innocence which we spend a life time trying to regain.

Alexa: Did you hear about the person who went to a disco with a seafood buffet?

Daily reflections, Day Twenty one - Accept and love one another

Day Twenty one

Accept and love one another

“A miracle is a service. It is the maximal service you can render to another. It is a way of loving your neighbor as yourself. You recognize your own and your neighbor’s worth simultaneously.” ACIM, T-1.1.18:1-4

The miracle is a shift in perception from the world of the ego to the world of Spirit, from the world of fear to the world of Love.

This shift in perception is first done for oneself for without this shift in self perception, there can be no shift in perception of the other who is part of oneself. In other words, we must love God first, then ourselves, and then a miracle occurs in our perception of others whom we perceive as being of the same stuff of which we ourselves are made, and of God from Whom we are extensions.

Unitarian Universalists covenant together to affirm and promote an acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth.

Today, remember from whence we have come and extend our awareness of this Love to others by paying attention to them, listening to them, and loving them.

Evidence Based Social Policy Advocacy, Criminal Justice, Wrongful Convictions, Will Florida execute an innocent man based on informant testimony?

Editor's note:

I am a Roman Catholic Unitarian Univeralist. The Roman Catholic church has come against the death penalty as has the Unitarian Univeralist Association. Where does your congregation stand? Where do you stand? Where do the UU churches in Florida Stand?

As we have seen in our study of the 367 exonerations from DNA evidence obtained by the Innocence Project since 1989, 17% of wrongful convictions were due to incentivized informant testimony. Could this be such a case where there will be a miscarriage of justice?

The state of Florida has an unusually high number of exonerations. This raises questions about the criminal justice system in Florida.
