A Unitarian*Universalist "Elevator Speech" Courtesy Of One Ben Steinke. . .

Someone going by the name of Ben Steinke left the following comment on my Unitarian*Universalist YouTube video aka U*UTube video titled 'Unitarian Universalist National Marketing Campaign NOT!' -

Let it go, Robin. UUism is a shallow, elitist, pompous, and flighty collective of people without a clear and well-founded sense of direction and purpose. They flaunt their advanced college degrees (from Harvard/Yale/Stanford/Berkeley , of course) and their majors in English and Women's Studies and love to stick their noses in the air and look down upon those who couldn't afford college. Theirs is little more than a social club for bored liberals. Let them go, Robin, and seek CHRIST.

Wouldn't it be fun if Ben Steinke was *really* Ben Stein and interested in doing a documentary film about my trials and tribulations with Unitarian*Universalists? Wouldn't *that* be something U*Us? Maybe I should contact Ben Stein anyway. . . :-) Who knows? Maybe even Michael Moore would get a chuckle out of doing a documentary film about The Emerson Avenger. Yes, I know what *some* U*Us are thinking the title of that Michael Moore documentary film could be. But I digress. . .

Here is my waggish response to Ben Steinke's quite insightful comment -

Ben,

You're a genius! U*Us are always trying to formulate a short concise description of *The* Tiny Declining Fringe Religion aka Unitarian*Universalism to share with people who ask what U*Uism is. They call this brief concise description an "elevator speech" because one is supposed to be able to share it with someone within the short time that one might be together with them in an ascending, or in the case of U*Uism. . . descending, elevator. You have provided a wonderful "elevator speech"!
