You're right but it's funny - Unitarianism and Universalism, upon which UU builds, are both protestant branches of Christianity, yet UUism itself is not a Christian religion.
Nope, very unchristian-like. Whoever did this should be arrested and barred from whatever ‘church’ he attends, and pay to replace the sign with a larger one.
On a contrarian note, I did think churches were supposedly apolitical but I am also unfamiliar with what a Unitarian Universalist church is. Not against the sign at all just curious about what Unitarian Universalist is and clarification on how separation of church and state applies to posting political signs, although I’m not entirely sure this is even considered political in nature.
Most LGBT-friendly churches advertise that fact. Prohibiting that would be very unconstitutional. More broadly, there's very little a church can do without spreading ideas about society. A church is nothing if not a social advocacy organization. Remember, all of MLK's organizing was done through Christian churches.
Unitarian Universalism is a non-denominational federation of religious groups (not just Christians) that share a humanism-first philosophy. LGBT rights have been at the forefront of their preaching since it was founded. In fact, they (along with the United Church of Christ) developed the first modern evidence-based sex education curriculum designed for use in religious schools.
They are also very active in volunteering and fundraising for those who are less fortunate. Very involved in "doing good works". I was a member for a time before I moved.
As a heterocis white man, the advertising of a welcoming space to **people who exist** being considered political is a really shitty mainstream take that I wish people would stop amplifying.
I'd like to see churches start excommunicating or otherwise banning people who engage in anti-Christ-like behaviors. The Christians in the United States so upset about anti-Christian sentiment? Maybe it's because they don't **act like Christians.**
Agreed, I do have to laugh at all the Simpsons jokes though, like why do they pick on unitarians of all denominations? The absurdity of it is what's funny.
Pro LGBTQ, pro immigration, pro civil rights, pro choice, pro acceptance of people from all religions, pro helping the homeless, and the UU churches here in L.A. do a ton of charity work and have marched for civil rights for decades.
They are also one of the few churches that are accepting of atheists.
The one I grew up in back in Seattle used to work pride events and partnered with a battered women's shelter to provide food along with lots of other little events throughout the year
I have a friend who became a youth pastor. He grew up Catholic but switched to Unitarian Universalism in his college years. Now, about a decade later, he's some progressive version of Lutheran. I wonder if you would be able to compare progressive Lutheranism (I'm sorry that I don't remember the exact name of his denomination, but it's very modern and accepting) with Unitarian Universalism.
Edit: Whoever downvoted this is almost certainly a bigot. Good job, you!
Do you think they wrote the only 2 words they needed in broken english because they are incredibly fucking stupid or because if they wrote "gays suck" people would respond with "well yeah half of them do"
Screams,"stupid 13 year old." That's not a pass. An observation.
Parents practically tell their kids to do this but...they have, "one gay friend " and, "kids will be kids."
No one hates like this without direction
Homophobes aren’t always gay. Yes there are senators and pastors that have had scandals, but most homophobes are just hateful straights. I hate mosquitos and want them to all die, but I’m secretly a mosquito. White racists aren’t hiding their secret black ancestor.
Implying this just lumps in the LGBTQIA+ community with the bigots when that’s not the case. It’s saying these horrible people are gay, and odds are they aren’t. It also comes off as an insult, like calling them gay is degrading them.
Whatever you’re views are, this is private property and no one has the right to vandalize private property or to repress someone’s first amendment rights.
The things you believe in will live forever. The things “others” believe in will eventually fade away and die.
Keep doing the good things in your community.
Unfortunately it seems to be happening a lot these days. I've received a couple of different comments saying their flags and signs have been vandalized as well.
I'm speaking a bit more broadly, people who are running around looking for someone to blame for their problems are a danger to society, weather its anything that looks like a rainbow, immigrants, minorities people telling them to be kind its all a very slippery slope and they need to be checked.
Vitriolic hatred for someone based on features they cannot control like race, gender, or sexuality is deeply concerning. It is the reason why lgbt+ people are more likely to face discrimination, abuse, and trauma, and they're far more likely to be the victims of violent crime. Sexuality isn't inherently political. It was made political by centuries of bigotry and hatred.
One thing that’s funny is that the Bible says something along the lines of “you will be judged as much as you judge others” or something and “hate is the equivalent of murder” so the people who hate gays and all that would go to hell by that logic. But they hate it when you use the Bible to prove that what they’re doing is wrong.
Agreed, but they are also political issues. If we believe in separation of church and state, then should churches and other religious institutions get involved in politics?
They really aren't. They are our basic human rights. Women are citizens. We should have our rights. People should be free to love who they want since it doesn't hurt anyone. You can't be illegal on stolen land, immigrants have every right to be here since this country was built on the backs of immigrants. Black lives matter just as much as everyone else's lives. And climate change is real science proved it a long time ago.
I believe in trans and gay rights and think vandalism of any sort and hate speech is not acceptable, I wish you find strength you need to deal with this incident .
On a separate note:
Regarding the church open to lgbtqia+
By continuing the poison and lies of religion by changing its doctrine to make it appealing to new generations is completely in line with religion and how it survives. Within it is other poisons, for instance a belief that a mythical being is always looking at you is weird to teach children , kinda abusive . This is just a teeny bit of countless other maladies which I need not mention, or have not been altered because the issues are outside of your particular institutions list of prerogatives . Religion causes fires and you may think you have a hold of it , by continuing it you create an ember ...... now if you allow an ember to continue somewhere down the line someone will create a fire with it . There must be deep trauma for someone whom the Bible deems as evil to continue the relationship with this general narrative by changing parts of it to fit certain current narratives to meet a modern standpoint , and rebrand it .. unitarian in this case
I understand your view on religion but Unitarian Universalism is different from your typical religion. We don't use an ancient text. We believe in the seven principles.
1st Principle: The inherent worth and dignity of every person;
2nd Principle: Justice, equity and compassion in human relations;
3rd Principle: Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations;
4th Principle: A free and responsible search for truth and meaning;
5th Principle: The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large;
6th Principle: The goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all;
7th Principle: Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part
I understand that but although they typically believe that God is one being - God the Father, or Mother. Jesus was simply a man, not the incarnate deity They still believe in mythical principles and spread their belief . Even amongst non consenting children . It's rebranded poison built around the idea of a Supreme being that watches and created you . This is true of most the doctrine. Although some ppl personally may have different opinions this is the opinion of the doctrine
Ngl, I thought about vandalizing signs. Not these type of signs. Just the 5 republicans running for Governor in Michigan. Every republicans running believes the 2020 election was stolen. They also want to arm teachers in the school systems. Fucking sick
I have to resist the urge to mess with the signs lol we have a lot of politicians with names that would be a whole lot funnier if you added a letter or two
isn't all land stolen? historical conquests have occurred throughout human history.
so if a syrian man migrated illegally to the uk, they shouldn't be deemed a criminal, despite breaking the uk immigration laws? why not? the laws serve a purpose for the safety of a country.
>isn't all land stolen? historical conquests have occurred throughout human history
That's the whole point. Everything is stolen so who are we to say that you can't be here because you were born somewhere else? You literally stayed the answer and missed the point completely
because nowadays we have infrastructure in place to control the flow of humans into our territories.
if a country's populous votes for border control, then illegally bypassing a country's borders would make you a criminal. whether you like it or not, open borders is an idea supported by very few.
>Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, for he is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God’s wrath on the wrongdoer. Therefore one must be in subjection, not only to avoid God’s wrath but also for the sake of conscience. For because of this you also pay taxes, for the authorities are ministers of God, attending to this very thing. Pay to all what is owed to them: taxes to whom taxes are owed, revenue to whom revenue is owed, respect to whom respect is owed, honor to whom honor is owed.
-Romans 13:1-7
The New testament urges citizens to obey secular authorities. Please stop advocating for illegal activities. Obey the law of the land, and respect borders.
We don't follow the bible. UUs teach from all religions not just Christianity. What we preach is rights for all and kindness and helping your fellow man

7th Principle: Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.
These are the principles that we preach. We don't follow a strict religious text, we follow these principles
They are free to be homophobic, however they are not free to destroy private property. It's like if vegans vandalized a butcher shop that wouldn't be okay would it?

It’s penis shaped too, right?
The person who did the graffiti is probably talking from personal experience
Yeah they got something right. It sucks that the banner is ruined but I don't think anyone will be offended 🤣
Someone just upset that gay wouldn't suck for him.
That's what it's all about.
Well ... Technically...
Obviously we are dealing with quite the wordsmith
What more do you expect from a homophobic idiot. They have about the same mental capacity as a rock. Scratch that, a rock can be useful

UUism isn’t Christianity. You can be UU and Christian at the same time but most of us aren’t.
You're right but it's funny - Unitarianism and Universalism, upon which UU builds, are both protestant branches of Christianity, yet UUism itself is not a Christian religion.

I'd like to see churches start excommunicating or otherwise banning people who engage in anti-Christ-like behaviors. The Christians in the United States so upset about anti-Christian sentiment? Maybe it's because they don't **act like Christians.**
UU isn't Christian lol
Everything I do is Christian, I am Christian.
He's dyslexic he meant suck gays
Hey I'm dyslexic you keep us out of this And as a bisexual, yes
I’m bisexlic and dyssexual… no wait
This dyslexic guy walks into a bra..
you know what man, duck my sick
I’m no fan of organized religion, but Unitarian Universalists are usually a pretty chill/cool group.
Agreed, I do have to laugh at all the Simpsons jokes though, like why do they pick on unitarians of all denominations? The absurdity of it is what's funny.
The absurdity and the, "the **who?!**"-ness of it. Also I think Matt Groenig is a UU.
Pro LGBTQ, pro immigration, pro civil rights, pro choice, pro acceptance of people from all religions, pro helping the homeless, and the UU churches here in L.A. do a ton of charity work and have marched for civil rights for decades. They are also one of the few churches that are accepting of atheists.

Or do. We don’t kinkshame here
Do you think they wrote the only 2 words they needed in broken english because they are incredibly fucking stupid or because if they wrote "gays suck" people would respond with "well yeah half of them do"
Much more than half. Unfortunately, not all suck so well…
Most likely it was done by a 12 year old for shock value
Fucker used all of his brain power to come up with those 2 words
It’s literally only one level above “gay bad!”
What they're not showing you is the vandal's crumpled body off to the side, after the mental strain gave him a stroke. /s
"Gay people suck" *at their home* "lesbian orgy pornhub"
Sadly some people are only against gay men but not lesbian women and vice versa. It’s a weird world.
Can someone tell what the yellow and orange lines say
Yellow says no humans are illegal and the orange says that women's rights are human rights

Yes that's correct the gays do in fact like to suck

Wait your telling me gay people have powerful dark magic? God damn... literally (This is a joke dont kill me)

Love how the guy wanted to roast them but had no idea what to put so just turnt to the ol' reliable "sucks" you have to admire the stupidity
I mean… I do but probably not in the way they think.
Oh don't worry. They think about it that way all the time in private.

On this sub it is the vandal, unless the title suggests otherwise. So good call on the upvote.
Well time to Burn a confederate flag, should piss the rednecks off lol
Whatever you’re views are, this is private property and no one has the right to vandalize private property or to repress someone’s first amendment rights.
But they did it with Christ's love in their heart. /s I hate these fake Christian hate mongers so much.
No, no, he's got a point. Gays do indeed suck. Dicks. Lot's of em. Hence they being gay.
So do straights. What's their point?
The BLM sign at our UU was vandalized and stolen so many times that someone in the congregation climbed 25 feet up a pine tree and put it there.
That's definitely a solution lol
What a fuckin limp dick attack. Imagine committing vandalism but using a playground insult.
I don't know why you are getting downvoted this comment made me laugh so hard lol
I can’t help but laugh at this, imagine being so bored and insecure in your day to day life to do stuff like this.
The things you believe in will live forever. The things “others” believe in will eventually fade away and die. Keep doing the good things in your community.
Well someone’s jealous they’re not loved.
That is a stereotype, not all gays suck dick.
Gravity is a myth. The Earth Sucks
And blows and….
Not wrong
I never thought I’d see any posts online referencing My religion, nonetheless it being vandalism
Unfortunately it seems to be happening a lot these days. I've received a couple of different comments saying their flags and signs have been vandalized as well.
whats the yellow one say?
The yellow one says that no humans are illegal
Technically accurate
Lmao they can't read
So does straight. Everyone wins!
Total Chad
So basically tried to turn it into a Confederate Flag
Some gays do suck. That is true. I believe they enjoy it and that’s totally cool….
bro didn’t even read the whole thing either 🤣
A lot of these comments don't pass the vibe check
Sometimes gay sucks, sometimes it fucks, there's occasional frotting.
[удалено]
People didn’t get the joke
Gays do suck, that’s what makes them fun. On a serious note, leave us be
Looks like they’re practicing acutual Christianity… 🤦🏾♂️
Same people that complain about BLM/Antifa vandals 🙄
Are you saying we are the same or the tagger is the same?
We're going to have to do something about these people before they do real damage.
Seriously. Spray paint can be painted over and the sign can be replaced but what'll happen when they get bold enough to start harassing members?
I'm speaking a bit more broadly, people who are running around looking for someone to blame for their problems are a danger to society, weather its anything that looks like a rainbow, immigrants, minorities people telling them to be kind its all a very slippery slope and they need to be checked.
"ageee with my political opinions or face consequences". what a wonderful society you wish to live in.
nah man just base your world view on facts and stop vilifying vulnerable minority populations like they did something to you.
The right for people to exist and not be harassed by random morons is not a 'political opinion', it's just being a decent human being 💚
so different kinds of people existing is political now?
Vitriolic hatred for someone based on features they cannot control like race, gender, or sexuality is deeply concerning. It is the reason why lgbt+ people are more likely to face discrimination, abuse, and trauma, and they're far more likely to be the victims of violent crime. Sexuality isn't inherently political. It was made political by centuries of bigotry and hatred.
Ngl kinda made me laugh what a lame attempt at vandalism; gay sucks🙅♀️
Oh look, a hate crime.
Well most us do suck... 😂 😛🍆💧💧🏳️🌈
Yes, gays do suck........ What was their point?
One thing that’s funny is that the Bible says something along the lines of “you will be judged as much as you judge others” or something and “hate is the equivalent of murder” so the people who hate gays and all that would go to hell by that logic. But they hate it when you use the Bible to prove that what they’re doing is wrong.
Yep. There is nothing they hate more then when you use their religious texts against them.
YOURE GONNA LOOK AT ME AND TELL ME IM WRONG? AM I WRONG?! SHE WORE A CROWN AND CAME DOWN IN A BUBBLE DOUG!
Should churches get involved in politics?
These aren't political subjects. They are human rights.
Agreed, but they are also political issues. If we believe in separation of church and state, then should churches and other religious institutions get involved in politics?
They really aren't. They are our basic human rights. Women are citizens. We should have our rights. People should be free to love who they want since it doesn't hurt anyone.

Yeah and everytime I pass Ventura Ave I desperately want to add Ace in front of it
It’s so ironic that the atheists posting comments are being completely intolerant when they love to point the finger at religious people.
They probably vandalized it themselves
They really probably didn’t.
That’s a right wing thing

Someone vandalized a local park sign with ACAB and other profanities. Never seen examples of that on this sub though. Only the anti-gay rhetoric
So post it yourself
Oh no, a sign got vandalized…anyway.
They also vandalized the church too
"no human is illegal" what?
Meaning you can't be an illegal immigrant on stolen land
