Unity
“Unity,” they cried. “First, we must have unity.” “Whose unity shall we have, yours or mine,” I asked?
Knowing there was a Unitarian Church nearby, I stopped by and asked the minister. This ordinate tells me that theirs is all about a god of one; a unity god. Always wondered.
Is there such a thing as unity of minds? A singularity? Called up an old physicist friend; says it’s something to do with essence, he thinks.
This unity you are demanding, can you please tell us what you mean by unity?

“unity” is just a word that politicians use because they know the people love the idea of “why can’t we all just get along.” they use it to persuade the people that “we” are the party that wants everyone to get along. or in the case of recent Republicans in means “let’s not worry about ‘oo killed ’00.”
as for the Unitarian “god of one,” i suppose that means ” we are more like moslems than hindus.” but I have never understood why we think we know that “god” cannot chose to divide his essence into two, or three, or many, or many billion, persons. nah. it means “there is only one god (king) and it is OUR god. if you don’t worship (obey) him, we will kill you.”
