Unitarian Universalist Church Changes Logo To ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Babylon Bee ^ | 9/15/2016

Posted on 09/21/2020 2:02:09 PM PDT by Gamecock

BOSTON, MA—The Unitarian Universalist Association revealed its new logo to much buzz and fanfare Friday morning. Replacing its previous logo consisting of a flaming chalice, the new logo is a shrugging emoji man, said to represent the religious group’s lack of certain belief in any doctrine or creed at all.

“We wanted our new logo to send a strong message about what we believe,” UUA President Reverend Peter Morales told reporters gathered in front of a large banner with the new logo, unfurled just moment before. “And we have no idea what we believe, really. So the shrugging man is the perfect, strong symbol for our confused congregations to rally behind.”

“I mean, I think anyway. I’m not super sure if it is, or not. I guess it’s a toss-up,” he added pensively, extending his arms outward in a shrug.

When asked if Association churches would be forced to use the new logo, Morales paused for a moment to gather his thoughts before responding, “Um, no. I don’t think so—or maybe I do? That doesn’t sound like something we would do, anyway.”

Several different-colored iterations of the new logo were reportedly unveiled, as well as a completely blank logo for those congregations unwilling to make such a bold statement about their beliefs.

What do you get when you cross a Jehovah’s Witness with a Universalist Unitarian?

Someone who comes and knocks on your door for no reason.

my Dad attended UUA some times. They held some interesting talks and discussions. The UUA had nothing to do with any religious faith but my Dad didn’t go there for that. So, he enjoyed it.

About 45 years ago we went to the Unitarian church to pick up hot divorcees.

I thought it was the Episcopalians who renamed “The Ten Commandments” to “The Ten Suggestions”.

Joke I heard Tom Rush say during a
concert: “When I lived in Colorado
the Unitarians burned a question mark
on my lawn.”

Their certain belief is, there is no certain belief.

It might be conceivable that ALL religions are wrong. But it is impossible that they are all right.

Garrison Keillor on The Prairie Home Companion told a story about how the first Unitarian pioneers who traveled out to the midwest converted the Indians through interpretive dance.

Not really - ‘cause then the dogma or belief or religion that all other religions are wrong would be right. So that is self cancelling.
