Tax Exemption For Churches
 

There seemed to be a large involvement and/or endorsement for candidates from the moral majority ( i.e. religious right) this past election. If this gets to the point (if it already hasn't) where the churches or, their parishioners through constant brain-washing, actually donate money and time, should they actually remain tax-exempt when they are as much a political force as any other large business? Somehow, and I can't say why, there seems to have been a line crossed recently ... and most explicitly.

I accidentally put this in the wrong forum. :(

I'm going to assume this is in the wrong forum. Then again, it's kellychaos, so maybe not.

Do you even understand the purpose of taxes?

taxes fund all the immortals as they battle to take eachothers heads and eventually claim THE PRIZE

I agree with kelly. I think churches are buisnesses in so many senses and I have thought for a long time that they should be paying taxes. Not only do I think that a majority of churches do not operate "non-profit" (have you ever seen the cars that a pastor drives, their homes, or how they dress?) but since they continue to have an outspoken political agenda I think that makes them null and void.

I'm with Spooky on this one.

I think that if Churches get involved with the affairs of state, they are no longer churches. I think that Christian churches in the US have lost sight of why they exist

Catholic churches and the land they're on is owned by the Vatican, I believe.
