A Unitarian is someone who believes in, at most, one God
Yes, I've heard all the Unitarian jokes: the Unitarian church is the one with the question mark on the steeple, a Unitarian is an agnostic who's lost his faith, a Unitarian is a Quaker with Attention Deficit Disorder, some people get fed up with organized religion entirely and become Unitarians instead...
They sounded funnier before the State of Texas decided that Unitarianism isn't a religion.
(Well, the Texas State Controller, anyway: the Texas Supreme Court seems to disagree. Ethical Culture got dinged, too.)
Do you think that a certain citizen of Texas will speak up about this?
Naaaah, me neither.
Here's a harder one: Are you willing to continued to be ruled by a bunch of Repubicans from Texas?
Update: They've backed off on the Unitarians, but they're still holding the line against Ethical Culture. Where is H.L. Mencken now that we really need him?
