EVERYONE’S RIGHT TO SHARE WHAT THEY BELIEVE
The Universal Life Church is an Agnostic Atheistic Buddhist Catholic Christian Confucian Hindu Islamic Jainist Jehovah’s Witness Juche Jewish Natural New Age Pagan Primal Rastafarian Scientologist Shinto Sikhist Spiritist Taoist Unitarian Zoarastrian Ecumenical ALL INCLUSIVE CLUB open to anyone who wishes to express their belief and train of thought regarding the origins of our SHARED Universe and their views on HOW our Universe SHOULD be AND WILL be SHARED. OPEN expression of belief and philosophy is not only PERMITTED to ALL faiths and life perspectives here but SHARING is encouraged and accepted. SPEAK PEOPLE SPEAK.
If you feel uncomfortable with someone’s expression of joy due to past negative experiences with their faith system or just generally uncomfortable with their understanding of the Universe it is suggested that you simply not interact or IF YOU DO interact it should be in a way that DOES NOT belittle or slam their beliefs, personalities, families and/or practices. ACCEPTANCE OF ALL is the key to the success of this organization. AND THIS IS NOT EASY. Asking anyone to leave or cease from expressing their beliefs openly SHUTS DOWN the dialogue, education and open sharing for which this organization was indeed formed. Whether you worship and/or teach on a Saturday, Sunday, Monday or celebrate seven days a week should not matter here. Share the JOY of your faith openly and support everyone’s rights to do the same. AT no point should any member here tell someone not to openly share what they believe.
This is the opinion and perception of Mother Nanhi-Marie written and submitted on October 3, 2011 @ 12:45 AM for the review of her colleagues here. It does not necessarily reflect the opinions or policies of the administration and if it does not do so accurately I respectfully ask those authorities for appropriate correction as such. Response from other ministers is most certainly is invited. Insults directed toward myself and others are strongly discouraged. Sharing is accepted and appreciated especially that of an anecdotal and inspirational nature.
Thank you for the opportunity to openly share my beliefs. Thank you for respecting my family and my personhood. You may expect the same from me in this place as courtesy is as courtesy does. Diplomacy is a multifaceted intersection here, not just a two-way street as there are MANY PATHS REPRESENTED HEREIN. To defame or discourage the free expression of ANY VOICE here is to DISCOURAGE US ALL.
