Kuff on the Unitarians

Via Atrios, there is an interesting follow-up on the whole Unitarians-are-not-a-religion dust-up in Texas . Charles of 'Off the Kuff' notes that the idiot in question may have been prepping the way for a run for governor by shoring up the fundie base. I always looked at Unitarins the same way I look at Star Trek Fans who dress up and have maps of the Enterprise on their cubes - strange, but not dangerous. As for those who claim it's a Texas problem, Charles says

I know that Texas has exported its share of high-profile losers lately, but let me assure you of one thing: if this place was anywhere near as bad as some have made it out to be lately, I wouldn't be here. OK?

I think government just needs to stay out of the religion biz. And I'm not just saying that because in olden days they would take atheists like me and burn them alive inside giant metal bulls - I kid you not - but because government needs to stay out of the metaphysics business. We don't need a policy defining 'if God can do anything, can He make a rock that is too heavy for Him to lift?'
