Working on mysteries w/out any clues

We joined a UU congregation when the kids were little to give them a little more spiritual guidance that we could provide.  I miss the humor and inclusiveness of our original UU family.  Here’s a little tidbit that makes me smile and remember that time with fondness.

Why did the Unitarian Universalist cross the road? To support the chicken in its search for its own path.

Hearing that a great flood was coming, the Catholics said their rosaries and the Buddhists used their beads, the Congregationalists joined in prayer, and the Unitarian Universalists formed a class to try to learn to live under water.

You might be a Unitarian Universalist if:
You are unsure about the gender of God - or even if there is a God.

You might be a Unitarian Universalist if:
You study the “ten suggestions” instead of the “Ten Commandments.”

You might be a Unitarian Universalist if:
The only time “Jesus” is mentioned at church is when someone falls down the stairs.

You might be a Unitarian Universalist if:
You have trouble singing hymns because you’re always reading ahead to see if you agree with the words.

You might be a Unitarian Universalist if:
You are not even sure if you are Unitarian Universalist. That removes all doubt.

And so, to whom it may concern, these thoughts, prayers, good vibes, karma, cosmic forces, or whatever, we offer to you, if there is a ‘you’� Or not.

How many Unitarian Universalists does it take to change a light bulb?

1)  We choose not to make a statement either in favor of or against the light bulb. However, if you have found in your own journey that light bulbs work for you, that is fine. You are invited to write a poem or compose a modern dance about your personal relationship with your light bulb and present it next month at our annual light bulb Sunday service in which we will explore a number of light bulb traditions, including incandescent, fluorescent, three-way, long-life, and tinted, all of which are equally valid paths to luminescence.

2)  None, UU’s aren’t afraid of the dark!

3)  One to write a solemn statement which will affirm the following:

1. This light bulb is natural, a part of the universe, and evolved over many years by small steps. 
2. There must be no discrimination against bulbs in any form, and means must be found for bulbs of all colors and intensities and shapes to work on a basis of equality. 
3. UU’s seek for each light bulb the fullest opportunity to develop itself to its full electrical potential.

A huge fire was ablaze in the town square and it looked as though everything would burn down. The Catholics rushed into their church to save the crucifix. The Baptists rushed into their church to save the historic Bible. The Unitarian Universalists rushed into their church to save the coffee pot - and the Equal Exchange Coffee

It is show-and-tell day at school, and all the children are requested to bring in an item which illustrates their religious beliefs.

One child stands up and says, “This is a Star of David and I am a Jew.”
Another child stands up and says, “This is a crucifix and I am a Catholic.”
Another child stands up and says, “This is a coffeepot and I am a Unitarian Universalist.”
