“God Is Optional. You Are Not.”

Ian Lynch writes in the recent comments on this post,
“So if the UCC says that God is still speaking and you are suggesting that the UUA is still speaking does that mean via the transitive property that the UUA is God?”

Although I think my friend Ian probably asks this question with his tongue-in-cheek (since he calls himself a “closet UU,” we can assume that he’s a fan and a friend of our movement), I think a legitimate question to ask Unitarian Universalists is: What or whom are you worshiping? I have heard Unitarian Universalists of many different theological stripes answer this question beautifully, but I feel like asking it again because I just heard about a California congregation that has a big sign outside its doors stating, “GOD IS OPTIONAL. YOU ARE NOT.”
What an interesting claim.
Does it sound inviting to you, or inane? Provocative or puerile? Or something […]
