Is she also a Pastafarian?

Never heard of the Commandments?

“Thou shalt not kill.”

Don’t ask me! I’m still trying to figure out what a “Jewish Unitarian Universalist” is. Gold Star to the first FReeper who can tell me!

[Just mythoughts]

Oh boy another ‘big’ case out of Texas...

Well, which is she? Jewish or Unitarian Universalist? I suppose technically she could be "ethnically" Jewish, but there's no way she practice Judaism and be a Unitarian Universalist.

First hit was on this website. I am more confused after reading it, not less, but when they brag about their "progressive Passover seder plate featur(ing) an orange: a symbol of women's leadership and LGBTQ inclusion", they sure have some blatant un-Jewish notions that they are trying to inject into a feast that was observed even by Jesus.

“Well, which is she? Jewish or Unitarian Universalist?”

I wonder if she knows.

My understanding is that pretty much anything goes in the unitarian universalist church. It’s like a melting pot of religions. You can mix and match and make up whatever you want. I went to a funeral last year at one of those. It was a mixed bag for sure.

That said, anyone who says abortion is not a sin is suppressing the truth in unrighteousness.

[Ahithophel]

It’s a moral decision? And murder is not a sin either but just a moral decision too where the situational ethics are just a bit more nuanced. Sheesh..!

[El Cid]

A “moral decision” that does not abide by the Word of God (e.g., “Thou Shalt Not Kill”) IS sin...

[Olog-hai]

Seems to me to be a little like Jeremiah Wright being a “former” Muslim. The “former” beliefs spew out in place of anything Christian.

[Olog-hai]

Especially when that reads “Thou shalt not murder” in Hebrew.

How dare you try to define me!!!

[El Cid]

Yes, good clarification.

15 years ago, I was in China on a project with a bunch of Americans working on a project. We had some down-time with the local Chinese staff. The subject of religion came up, and when one of the Americans claimed to be a Unitarian Universalist, the Chinese asked - "what it that?" The UU presented a her "belief statement" on a card. A Chinese man read it, wrinkled his brow, scratched his head and said, like he was being played for a fool: "This isn't a religion, its a Nike advertisement!"

may God have mercy....

This “Rev” holds her flock to a lower standard. Sin without guilt probably appeals to many who don’t want to be burdened with judgement.

Abortion is Not a Sin, It’s a Moral Decision

If abortion is not a sin, why would it be a moral decision?
