    Just going to church doesn't make you a Christian.
    Not any more than standing in a garage makes you a car.

    USA Today had a great page today just full of quotes in preparation for President's Day coming up.

    The following are some favorite quotes from my fellow Unitarians and one Unitarian wannabe (Jefferson, but the Bible he created falls in line with Unitarian Principles):

    Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, or inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts.

    President John Adams


    Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost.

    President John Quincy Adams


    I never considered a difference of opinion in politics, in religion, in philosophy, as cause for withdrawing from a friend.

    President Thomas Jefferson​

    "That rifle on the wall of the laborer's cottage or working class flat is the symbol of democracy. It is our job to see that it stays there."

    I love being married. It's so great to find one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life.
