Are there any members of the Clergy here on DU? |
|
I know my posts may give a certain reticence to chime in, but I've never felt that religion must preclude you from being a progressive, caring and loving individual.
So are there?

4. But are any of the clergy members our little radical group? |
|
And yes, it pains me to think that in this day and age, Democratic Underground is radical...

5. At OSU a bunch of SubGenius Parishoners put up signs all over campus with parts of SubGenius |
|
As in, you'd walk and see a sign with a mention of Jehova I, Bob Dobbs or something else. If you continued down the path, you might see a full paragraph...or not
My explanation does not do it justice

8. I have one of those too... |

...I thought it might have come in handy if I needed an excuse to not get drafted as cannon fodder for the VietNam War.

9. Reverend Cheesehead and My Critters are both ordained ministers |
|
I think Reverend Cheesehead is United Methodist and My Critters is UCC.
Neither of them has been around much lately.
Those are the only two I know of.
