cowpies and roadkill are excluded from this offer
applying the higher-power test

I mentioned the Texas state comptroller's office's decision to deny Unitarian-Universalist congregation church tax status at the recent Austin Blogger Meetup and Adina blogged it as well. Well, it seems that Carole Keeton Rylander Strayhorn has, um, seen the light and reversed the decision, giving the North Texas congregation the same rights and privileges as other churches in the state.

If I can be a little more obscure for a moment, does anyone know a better way to put a word "under inscription" than using the strike tag. In theory books, words are covered by an "X" to say "not-meetup" or "not-text," but something like a Meetup or a text. Since the Austin Bloggers posse has left the Meetup fold, we still hold gatherings on Meetup night but don't use their system. I suppose I could come up with some wacky style sheet for putting a word under inscription, or I could start calling it "not-Meetup." Perhaps this is the W3C's way of saying "deconstruction isn't funny."

I tend to opt for either get-together or non-capitalized meetup.

'Ancira says a criterion used in determining whether a group qualifies as a church is "simply a belief in God or gods, or a higher power."'

Does it count if I acknowledge that Carole Keeton McClellan Rylander Strayhorn is herself a Higher Power?

I still want to make a batch of "Carole Keeton McClellan Rylander Strayhorn Has a Posse" stickers.
