We need your voice! Is Evidence Common Ground for Unitarian Universalists?

Posted on February 4, 2017 by NaturalisticPaganism

What will be the future of Unitarian Universalism in today’s age of “alternate facts”?

Do you agree? Here you can make your voice heard!

Like simplicity and socialism, Paganism, Naturalism, and Humanism, are also very old, very good ideas. They offer us spiritual sustenance and inspire courage to try old and new ideas as we dig ourselves out of a planet-sized pile of our own night soil. I think afternoon skaters and readers of Humanistic Paganism know that already. Have a blessed Imbolc!

[Dead Ideas] “Geis IV: Nede the Satire-poet, and the Death of Connla”, by B. T. Newberg

More stories! We were having so much fun, we just kept recording. First is the tale of a satire-poet called Nede, followed by the saga of a young warrior named Connla who meets his grisly demise at the hands of his own father. Both these stores involve – you guessed it! – a geis. Don’t forget to support the show and get your perks at http://www.patreon.com/deadideaspod!
