The May 12, 2008 issue of Time Magazine has a full page ad sponsored by the Universalist Unitarian Association of churches. Below is the text of that ad.
MY GOD IS BETTER THAN YOUR GOD. Is this any way to talk about religion? Maybe you are seeking an open-minded, spiritual community where people respect each other's beliefs and worship together as one faith. Where no one's idea of God is better than another's. There is a religion that welcomes your search. Welcome to Unitarian Universalism.
The ad continues with their logo, website, and an offer of a free introductory DVD. There are so many things biblically wrong with the content of this ad. If you want a list, let me know. But perhaps instead of listing the theological errors here, I'll close this entry praying for those who see the ad. Lord, I pray that You would limit the influence of this ad. Foil the plans of the evil one to use it to lead men and women astray. I pray for those believers who read this ad will recognize the wiles of the devil and see how their faith in the one and only God is different and unique and grounded in absolute truth. I pray for those who are still lost who see this ad. May they come in contact with the true Gospel and may Your Holy Spirit convict them of sin, truth, righteousness, and judgment. May they see the glories of Christ and come to know so great a salvation!

That ad UUA national marketing campaign advertisment reeks of false and fraudulent advertising and outrageous hypocrisy in that plenty of Unitarian*Universalists aka U*Us, including no shortage of U*U clergy, are absolutely convinced that their beliefs about God, or lack thereof. . . are considerably better than those of other people. Fundamentalist atheist U*U ministers preach from their wayward pulpits that God is a “non-exiostent being”, that belief in God “seems primitive”, and that most religious rituals (except their own U*U rituals of course. . .) are “meaningless.” Oh so superior Humanist (read atheist) U*Us quite regularly make it ever so clear to God believing people that their devout belief in the non-existence of God is infinitely better than any and all belief in God. One of the two candidates for the next President of the UUA, Rev. Peter Morales, has even publicly pronounced most other religions to be “obsolete religions” in his official announcement of his candidacy. Is this any way to talk about religion? It sure is for a good number of utterly shameless U*Us, including arrogant U*U ministers. . .
Anyone who genuinely yearns for an open-minded, spiritual community where people respect each other’s beliefs and worship together as one faith would be well advised to look further afield than Unitarian*Universalism because there are no shortage of stunningly small-minded, narrow-minded, close-minded, and outright suspicious-minded Unitarian*Universalist U*Us who quite regularly express deep disrespect and outright contempt for other people’s religious beliefs and practices. Anti-Christian intolerance and bigotry and broader anti-religious intolerance and bigotry is a serious problem within the so-called U*U World.
