1. The most misunderstood form of Christianity.
2. Used as slang by Fundamentalists towards anyone who includes all people into salvation, and not just their small cult.
3. The original belief from Jesus time till the 500's when the Church became imperialized by Rome. Most Christians in the East and the West believed this, such as Pantaneus, Clement of Alexandria, Origen, St. Gregory of Nyssa, St. Macrina the Younger, Theodore Montepusa, Diodore of Tarsus, and other such figures. It is also believed that St. John Crystostom, St. Ambrose, St. Basil and St. Gregory Nazanieth. Both Augustine and Basil admitt that most Christians believed in Universal Salvation. The belief was deemed heretical because the emperor Justinian demanded a council to condemn the belief as a heresy in the 500's.
4. They believe that by Jesus death and resurrection, that all will eventually come to salvation. They study the bible in its original context and understand the original greek words in their original use, not the church defined use. Contrary to popular belief, Universalism does not in any way give one a free pass to sin, or underestimate Jesus work on the cross. They still believe in punishment, but not that it is endless and is for corrective purposes. In fact, Universalism is the only form of Christianity that teaches both an all powerful and all loving God who will get rid of sin once and for all, and died not for a few, but insured everyone salvation.

Christian Universalism is the most loving form of Christianity, because they act like the real Jesus, not this angry Jesus the traditionalist teach.

One of the best films since Edward Scissorhands. It contains Beatles songs, talented actors/actresses, romance, sadness, happiness, art, and it is set in a decade where there were things to live for.
Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better.
Army Sergeant: Is there any reason you shouldn't serve in the United States Army?
Max: I'm a cross-dressing homosexual pacifist with a spot on my lung.
Army Sergeant: As long as you don't have flat feet...
Me: I love Across the Universe!
Friend: Jim Sturgess is hot.
Me: Oh, yes, he is.

Elsewhere in the world, people stir and mutter curses as dawn shoves them into wakefulness.
But here, friends, we tear home across campus on midnight bicycle treks.
Here we stumble home from Burger King distracted by theories of economics and the way the alcohol in our blood makes the clock tower blur into the stars.
Here we spin our brains like coffee-fueled turbines and blast our computers with chattering keystroke zaps.
Here, essays crack, crumble and landslide into printer-paper torrents as mental reservoirs overflow, burst upon unsuspecting assignments below us, drown them and saturate them and thrash them and stream on.
Elsewhere, people punch their alarm clocks and snooze in the shower. But here we know the dawn as it is: the first signpost of approaching sleep.

Get the Steven Universe mug.
One of the most reputable Public Universities in the country that continues to rapidly rise in the rankings. The school is the PERFECT mix between an academically-serious/rigid school and a party school. Very good school for Engineering, Business, Architecture, Sciences and many others things.
It's one of the most affordable Universities in the country and the school is not located in the middle of nowhere like many other SUNY's so you rarely get bored. It's also very diverse and has the highest student-satisfaction of any of the main 4 SUNY University centers. The school bus service is amazing in the daytime but crappy in the evenings and night.
There is three campuses. North/Main Campus is located in the suburbs and is mostly made up of unappealing brick buildings but this is where the majority of the activity is. The South Campus is mostly beautiful historic buildings BUT tasteless tin trailers and handful of fugly 60's soviet-style bldgs ruin the ambience of it. Oh, and there's the Downtown Medical campus that few have actually been to. Thankfully, the UB2020 plan aims to restore beauty to all of the campuses.
CONS:
- In a region with crappy weather
- Many of the older academic buildings don't have cell-phone/data reception.
- Crappy parking for commuters (especially on North Campus).
- Food in Dining Halls is overpriced.
- Crappy internet reception at night in the Ellicott Dorms-{the main dorms}.
