Imagine a television with no stations. Without pages like this one, Facebook is a blank high-tech bulletin board. And it makes money selling ads based on our content and keeps all that for themselves. So we need your help…

There is Still a Place for Liberal Religion in the World.
One can get a lot of hits to their website by talking about the death of religion. “People aren’t going to church!” “Paganism is on the rise!” People are writing all the time about how people have given up on religion, but they aren’t writing enough about how young adults are still just as spiritual […]
The World is Hungry for Liberal Religion
I’ve seen a lot of new posts here at the end/start of the year about religion in America. People aren’t going to church. “Paganism” is on the rise. I’ve seen the word “cafeteria” more than a few times already. It seems that we do this every year, but this year has a different feel. I’ve […]

We’ve hidden the comment where it originally appeared because it was wildly off-topic. We did want to address the comment, though: […]

Justice Can Be Built
I see it all the time online: Someone wanting a little peace, or empathy, or respect is told that they’re asking too much. I’ve read over and over some variation of “grow up”. It gets tiresome reading “The world isn’t fair.” The world isn’t fair; not on a scale that humans can understand. Children who […]

Unitarian Universalism & Social Media: Facebook Keeps Changing
It has become pretty common knowledge over the last couple of years that Facebook makes choices for you. Facebook has developed very clever programs, like robots that watch the site for them. Those programs pick what goes on your screen in hopes of keep you looking at the screen longer and seeing just a few […]
