You know, I haven’t felt much like writing, the last few days. It’s not like I didn’t have anything to talk about. I kept trying to write about Texas State Comptroller Carole Keeton Strayhorn, who has denied a Texas Unitarian church tax exempt status, stating that the UU church is not really a religious organization, for tax purposes because it “does not have one system of belief.” And to further clarify, the comptroller’s top attorney says “..or any organization to qualify as a religion, members must have “simply a belief in God, or gods, or a higher power,”” I’ve been trying to write about it for days, because it’s made me really angry, and also concerned. The state’s court system has overruled her decision, but she is planning to go to the Supreme Court, if necessary. Because, and we quote, “”Otherwise, any wannabe cult who dresses up and parades down Sixth Street on Halloween will be applying for an exemption,” Oh nice, comparing my faith with any wannabe cult member. Whom, by the way, would probably be welcome at my church. Because we do have one system of belief, and that is the inherent value in the search for truth, regardless of it’s source. And we do have a belief in a higher power, namely the human spirit. We believe in ourselves. That’s pretty damn high, when you think about it.
