“Do unto others as you would have done unto you.” The golden rule…long a staple in many UU religious and theological cupboards. I hate to ruin it for you, but it needs to go.
Everyone sins against themselves or members of their community or loved ones – to err is to be human. Judaism asks us to come back into at-one-ness with all that is.
