Unitarian support Homosexual sin

Unitarian Universalists respond to an anti-LGBT group of protesters from Westboro Baptist Church on June 21, 2018.

In the Summer 2018 print edition of UU World, “The magazine of the Unitarian Universalist Association”, there is a lamentation on the “white supremacy culture” of Unitarians. Candidates for president of the UUA, three white ladies, were thought insufficiently diverse. There were four white ladies until the “Reverend” Sue Phillips dropped out. There were “concerns” because both Phillips and “her wife” had official UUA jobs, which some thought gave Phillips an “unfair” advantage.

Many other articles are devoted to “climate change.” On its website, there is the announcement “Unitarian Universalists join the movement to abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement” where the people who illegally cross the border are called “migrants and asylum seekers.”

We learn that at the UUA General Assembly “approximately 70 UUs sang, held LGBT-affirming posters, and displayed a rainbow flag.”

And so on. A person not knowing he was on the UUA page might assume he was reading the New York Times.

What about Jesus? Unitarians speak of the “faith,” but it is not a faith in anything, except their own boundless intelligence. Very few of them believe in the Resurrection. “Jesus died and decomposed, and yet he was right: The divine unity is beyond all final death.” Jesus was a “peasant revolutionary” and “committed to social justice.”

“‘Salvation’ isn’t a word Unitarian Universalists use much anymore,” said one writer. “[M]ost modern Unitarian Universalists … do not believe in the afterlife anyway, much less in heaven and hell or Jesus’s atonement for humankind before God.”

Everything Biblical is reduced to metaphor, even God. The interpretations are unfixed, free to be cast anew at each lurch forward. It’s a religion of man, and not of God.

The questions are: Is progressivism shaping Unitarianism? Or does progressivism derive from Unitarianism and similar ex-Christian religions? If it’s the former, then there is nothing special to be gained in studying Unitarianism. But if it’s the latter, then there is, because then that sect is a good indicator of what Christianity will fall into.

There is plenty of evidence progressivism is the child of a Christianity drained of God. See, for example, Walzer’s The Revolution of the Saints: A Study in the Origins of Radical Politics.

That means the devolution of the two greatest commandants into Unitarianism’s “seven principles,” which even members don’t have to believe, is a fate awaiting many soon-to-be-ex-Christian sects.
