1. The existence of god is impossible to prove (or disprove) and impossible for a human to comprehend its true form; therefore, we give thanks to things we can understand. We praise the Sun and the Earth for providing us with life and sustenance.
2. The Sun is the source of life on Earth. It provides humanity with food (through farms), shelter (through trees), warmth (through electromagnetic radiation) and it allowed star dust to combine and form the rock know as the Earth (through gravity). So we give thanks to the Sun, every day.
3. The Earth, being the second most important object for humanity's survival, so it must be protected and maintained for as long as humanity calls Earth home. We also give thanks to the Earth daily.
4. Humans and animals act based on their beliefs and instincts and since humans have no control over their beliefs or instincts, therefore Universalistic Sun Worshiper believes that all living creatures go to heaven (or some sort of afterlife), are reborn into a new life form, or just die and rot in the Earth. Since it is impossible to know which one is true, it is up to each individual follower to decide which one they believe is true.
5. The Great Hierarchy must be followed.
The Great Hierarchy is as follows: The Sun-The Biosphere-Humanity-Animal Life
The Great Hierarchy generally works as follows: if the Sun is threatened then all things below it must do what is in their power to protect it (although this highly unlikely as the sun is the more powerful then everything currently below it). Next would be the Biosphere. If it is threatened then the Humanity must do what is needed to protect it, even if that means the death of some, but never all, of Humanity. Finally, if humanity is threatened, including a single member, then any number of animals can be killed in order to save its life (although killing in excess should be avoided).
6. All religions are created equally and since any or all of them maybe the true religion of god (if there is a god), then no human can rightly say that a religion is bad or wrong. With the exception of religions that have the consequences of the destruction of the Biosphere, the Sun, or human lives.
Universalistic Sun Worship was founded by Paul Klavins and is subject to change.

Despite the stereotype of Bridgeport, the area surrounding SHU isn't bad at all- it's actually really safe and you're really close to everything you need, including malls, inexpensive stores, and housing in nice areas that isn't half as expensive as Fairfield. The student body is primarily white, except for a few athletes, and usually come from NJ, NY, Long Island, CT, and Mass. The people are well groomed and usually good looking. You always see a familiar face around, and everyone is pretty friendly to one another- the school spirit is strong. Sacred Heart is a division 1 school in the northeast conference. Going out to clubs and bars can get pretty pricey, considering the most common form of transportation is taxi's/trains and being well dressed is a must, but it's always fun. If you're not so much into the club/bar scene, it's not hard to find a local house party going on. The school is pretty expensive, and the prices of food are ridiculous. Some of the rules are pretty stupid, but if you're decently smart you can get away with anything. The SHUttles take you to the trainstation, mall, grocery store, etc. so you really don't need a car, though it does come in handy. Though it's not an Ivy League school and you don't need to be in the top 5% to get admitted to Sacred Heart, if you don't do your work you won't be able to stay. The reputation of Sacred Heart is a rising one, and the internship/job opportunities they offer are amazing. All in all, if you get your work done you and do well you'll have a good future ahead of you and have a lot of time to have fun, too.

Get the American Military University mug.Referred to by students as the "University Near Mom". Most of the population consists of kids who graduated from Albuquerque High Schools and get free college for staying in New Mexico. Free college is kind of a win. UNM's basketball stadium, The Pit, is one of the rowdiest ever! And.. there is the Lobos biggest fan, a middle aged bald man who is tatted up and was recently arrested for trying to buy sex from an undercover cop. Gotta love the colorful crowd of Lobo fans. We hard. Going to UNM means that you have top notch food choices a.k.a. all the chile you could possibly want. However, all the out of state kids never fully appreciate it and whine about it because they're little bitches with irritable bowel syndrome. Lots of athletes like to come to New Mexico and moan that there is nothing to do...But they need to take a hike!!!! through the beautiful Sandia mountains with the beautiful girls of Albuquerque who are gracious ambassadors of their city. A lot of the kids who get free college, however, lose their lottery scholarships drop out and become wasteoids who still party with high schoolers. Just by going to UNM, you get mad street cred. However, cops here are super wack and partying is all the time, but very on the DL.
So, don't rip your pants when you have to jump over a fence dragging your drunk ass friend behind you. Get on that Rapid Ride the day after...go to college...and then go buy yourself a breakfast burrito.

I'm going to the University of New Mexico because I don't have to pay anything, I like bomb ass food, enjoy people of hispanic origin, like getting cursed out at sporting events, and enjoy spending time with like 20,000 other students who I probably went to high school with.
