Eat Well

First off, let’s admit we all need to eat something.  All living things take something in and let something out.  Whether through a cell membrane or a mouth and anus, we need to eat and expel to live.  There is no shame in that.
 
Even the sun eats and expels to exist.  We are made of the cooled matter of an old star explosion.  We are lighted, warmed, and powered by our current star, and we …

From Dysfunctional to Funfunctional

It ain’t necessarily so,
no it ain’t necessarily so.
The things that you’re liable to read in the Bible
It ain’t necessarily so.
 
Mathusala lived nine hundred years,
yea, Mathusala lived nine hundred years.
But who calls that livin’ when no gal will give in to
No man what’s nine hundred years.
 
I’m glad to be in a religious tradition where both aspects of this naughty song can be sung in church: the Bible might not be true, and a sex joke.  Both …

Autobiography of the Founder of God’s Goods

Who am I to found a religion catering to atheists, ecologists, libertines, humanists and believers?  Read on.

  • You and the UU

    I’m from Michigan, in what is still called the Midwest – located in the mid east section of our country.  Odd.  Once, it was in the far west, for few had ventured past the east coast.  A similar misnomer applies to the so-called northern California, by which they mean central California, where San Francisco is.  Redding and Shasta are in the real northern California.  But old words have a way of sticking, be they about ...
