OWTTE <BR/><BR/>I have never at any time suggested celebrating the total solar eclipse itself because that would be a form of idolatry that would make it difficult or impossible for the members of the major monotheistic religions to participate in either Creation Day or World Day of Conscience. <BR/><BR/>Jamie, the very reason that I have put so much energy into exposing and denouncing U*U injustices and abuses, especially U*U anti-religious intolerance and bigotry and related outrageous U*U hypocrisy is due in no small measure to the fact that Rev. Ray Drennan, and other like-minded fundie atheist U*U bigots. . . made it very difficult, if not outright impossible, for me to put forth <A HREF="http://revelationisnotsealed.homestead.com" REL="nofollow">fantastic ideas</A> and <A HREF="http://creationday.homestead.com" REL="nofollow">fantastic initiatives</A> within the Unitarian Church of Montreal and the greater U*U religious community. . . <BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://worlddayofconscience.homestead.com" REL="nofollow">World Day of Conscience</A> has evolved out of Creation Day. The *fantastic* inter-religious celebration of all Creation that Rev. Ray Drennan and other intolerant and abusive fundie atheist U*Us falsely and maliciously labeled as a "cult" and anti-democratically banned from being celebrated in the Unitarian Church of Montreal in 1995 and subsequent years. . .<BR/><BR/>Need I say more?<BR/><BR/>To you and other like-minded U*Us who think that World Day of Conscience is a fantastic idea I say -<BR/><BR/>Just do it. . . <BR/><BR/>I am more than willing to help you and other open-minded U*Us to organize a local observance of World Day of Conscience on March 29th of this year and well into the future. . . I know of at least one other Ohio UU who is interested. An observance of World Day of Conscience with strong participation from Native Americans at the Great Serpent Mound and/or other effigy mounds in Ohio would indeed be fantastic. . . Invite Neil Young to sing Ohio and other appropriate songs such as 'Heart of Gold' and 'Rocking In The Free World'. . . You never know he just might show up. I'm sort of working on it already. . . ;-)<BR/><BR/>Allah prochaine,<BR/><BR/>Robin EdgarRobin Edgarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06208142626285495635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9864334.post-1137901968027202452006-01-21T22:52:00.000-05:002006-01-21T22:52:00.000-05:00Now see.. if Robin would put more energy into thes...Now see.. if Robin would put more energy into these kind of ideas I (and i would imagine many others) would take him more serious.<BR/><BR/>I think it is a fantastic idea.Jamie Goodwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13024268765705070420noreply@blogger.com
