How can Rush walk into a UU church without bursting into flames
Al just mentioned on the O'Franken Factor that Rush was attending his NA meetings in a UU Church. Thats a hotbed of liberal idealogy. How the heck can he get in there without pyrotechniques going off?

1. UU and liberal christians don't believe God is vengeful
They are appreciative of God showing grace to Rush in his struggle through recovery.

2. Are you sure it wasn't a joke?

3. Hard to tell
If he is attending NA meetings they do tend to go to UU churchs as they are more accepting of their clientelle. The mention of the UU connection seemed to be part of the setup for the joke. But it could have been just a joke. Still the idea of Rush walking into a UU church is .... well as I said, he would explode, not the church.

6. UU Churches rent space to

the AA or NA meetings that are held there. Depending on the size and longevity of the particular meeting, the rent may be a token or it may be more substantial. One of NA/AA's Traditions is that it be self supporting through its own voluntary contributions.

AA/NA meetings are held in all sorts of churches, even Baptist ones...gasp!, since the Baptists believe drinking is bad.

My ex is a recovering alcoholic/addict with 21 years of sobriety. When we were married I went to many an open AA meeting with him in many diffent church building in many different cities.
