You may be a Unitarian Universalist if:


- you think socks are too formal for a Summer service.
- you know at least 5 ways to say - Happy holidays!
- your idea of a guy's night out is going to a N.O.W. rally.
- unleavened bread is part of your Easter Brunch.
- you refer to construction paper as "paper of color."
- the name of your church is longer than your arm.
- you find yourself rewriting a church survey, rather than taking it.
- you call up your minister in the middle of the night, panicking because you are STARTING to believe in God.
- to explain your personal theology, you have to use interpretive dance.
- you take your day planner to church instead of the Bible.
- you have ever been in an argument over whether or not breast milk is vegan.
- when you dress for a formal evening out you wear a little black dress and Birkenstocks
- you are unsure about the gender of God.
- the money you sent to the Sierra Club last year was more than you spent on your mother at Christmas.
- you think the Holy Trinity is "reduce, reuse and recycle."
- you study the "ten suggestions" instead of the "Ten Commandments."
- the only time "Jesus Christ" is mentioned at church is when someone trips or stubs a toe.
- your child says to you before eating dinner at a friend's house "I'll remember to say my 'pleases' and 'thank yous' but I'm not going to say that dinner 'pledge of alliegance'."
- You think a Holy day of Obligation is your turn to do coffee.
- You get mail from committees you didn't know you were on.
- You know at least two people who are upset that trees had to die for your church to be built.

6. I only just started attending a UU congregation
and that made me laugh so hard it hurt.

I have to fess up to 1,2,6,7, and 10 so far.

I actually DID take my day planner the first time I went. I don't know why! I guess I fit right into UU!

8. You're a UU if...
You use string theory as a religious perspective. Second visit to UU was interesting and educational to my gf. ("What's string theory and who is Gould?" she whispered. "This place rules!" with mandatory :headbang: )
