@ Klytus: There is a joke about the UU Church that UUs tell on themselves.

I am not a good joke teller, but I will try:

Saint Peter came to souls waiting to get into heaven. He said, "We have two pathways. One can go directly to heaven and experience the joys of it immediately or one can attend a three day Seminar about Heaven."

He told them to line up into two lines, one marked Heaven > and one marked Seminar about Heaven >. Immediately, the Catholics, Baptists, Pentacostals, and the Presbyterians rushed for the line to heaven. The Methodists ambled a bit but they too lined up for Heaven. The Unitarian-Universalists (except for a few neo-pagans) all lined up for the Seminar about Heaven. A couple of UUs demanded to know who the speakers would be and what were their credentials. It appeared at first that they might not go at all.
