community and sprituality
Today I checked out the Universal Unitarian church in Palo Alto. I've always wanted to check out a UU, but I've always been hesitant, afraid that they might be a little too new-agey? airy? not gritty enough? for an atheist leaning agnostic like me. But no, the message was right on! The topic today was that the environment, and global warming in particular, is THE moral issue of our time. Everything that was said was poignant and in perfect alignment with my own philosophy.
Tonight there is a lecture on gnosticism that I intend to attend - also something that I am very interested in.
The priest cracked me up. He said that there were no WMD found in Iraq as the government said there would be, but that's because they were looking in the wrong place! They should have been looking in Livermore! On that note, he mentioned organizing a protest next weekend at the Livermore lab (I think he said next weekend?).
So yeah, this is all very much in alignment with my own thoughts, and I will definitely start participating in some of their events.
