Such a thing breaks the spirit of the First Amendment, hvactec.

Wow, the bigots are organized. Shades of the KKK.

Yes Having government audit the church is like having wolves audit the chicken coop.

Yes Having government audit the church is like having wolves audit the chicken coop.

Why do we give CHurches tax exemptions to start with.

They are a business selling a product. They should be treated like every other business selling a product.

I'd love to apply the Consumer Fraud Laws to them as well.

"Okay, you say your religion gets people into heaven, but can you actually PROVE there is a Heaven?"

 

[hvactec]

Well if you are talking from the bible..it says no one will know who is the anti-Christ. the people will love him.--I think That eliminates Romney.

Believe it or not, giving them tax exempt status is the lesser of the ways to deal with the free exercise of religion. In other words, the problem here is not that churches are tax exempt, it is that you are ignorant of the facts.

Ummm, nope.

Churches are a business. The business they sell is "salvation".

And honestly, I don't give a fuck about the free excercise of religion. Religion has never done a damn bit of good in history, not once. The sooner we outgrow it as a species the better.

Says the idiot who believes in magic sky men..

 

[JoeB131]

Hey, QB. I offer you my religion test.

I get to throw your ass off the top of the Sears Tower.

If you go splat, I get a good laugh.

If God catches you on the way down, I'll convert to your religion, and sign over all my worldly goods to your church.

Deal?

Of course not. Because you know God won't catch you.

 

[Truthmatters]

Imagine the revenue this country would have if they started taxong all the churches.

Scientology alone would bring great revenue

Now you can read minds?

Any profit would be more than lost in having to replace the services that those churches now provide at little or no cost to the taxpayer. Do the fucking math before you open your dumb mouth.

Suddenly, there's an issue... call me a skeptic but the timing seems a tad.... convenient.

Let's just forget the 28 Churches who helped with the underground railroad.
Or all the good that the Salvation Army has done or the Catholic churches.
And on and on.

Why, you're right.

I guess all those bible passages that said Slavery was Oky-doke with God more than is made up for by the fact a few Churches helped slaves escape. As opposed to the hundreds that told slave owners that they should not only fight a war over slavery, but that God wanted them to win.

Ah, yes, the Catholic Church. Let's look at all the good they've done.

Crusades.
Inquisitions.
Witch-Burnings.
Hiding pedophile priests.
Collaborating with the Nazis.
Supporting oppressive regimes in Latin America.
