The need to make churches pay tax

[martybegan]

Congress shall make no law.

Taxes are laws.

Not difficult to understand

don't cherry pick the first amendment

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Giving religions a pass on taxes is passing a law respecting the establishment of religion. So the tax free ride the business of religion gets violates the first amendment. Taxing the business of religion does not interfere with the free exercise of religion it simply treats religion like any other business

Churches are simply treated like other non-profits, it's just easier for them to get the exemption.

esp since they do not endorse the Johnson Amendment but Trump said he repealed it, it may be in the new tax cut , who knows.

Evangelical Faux Churches are popping up everywhere and they serve drinks under the pretense of "Communion". (we have on in our town)

Dan Johnson the Rep who just committed suicide used his home as a tax exempt church, not all were welcome, and they sold beer and drinks under the pretense of Communion, but he didn't quite sell beer, he lied and said it was a donation.

You can read and research the The Pope's Long Con , google it.

Since we can't maintain the division of Church and State, we need to start making churches pay tax, esp those Evan ones on TV.

I hope when the Dems get in and they will, they do this.

Faux preachers have abused this tax free status for far toooo long.

Say goodbye to non profits then. Of course, that's NOT what you wanted. You want only to attack churches.

No make all think tanks pay taxes as well.

Freedom of religion should not mean freedom from taxes.

Why do you have such a strong desire to trash the first Amendment?

That's the point. I don't think any business should get an exemption.
If you want to be a nonprofit then show zero profit every year there is no need for any special treatment

Most Churches are not businesses. If a government agency thinks one is, they should go after it.

Of course they are.

They all take in revenue and claim expenses. They just get a pass on taxes

 

[jon_berzerk]

Mosques too?

The left only attack Christianity because it is the one true religion. All others are never mentioned for that reason.

never hear bitching about taxing the liberal colleges

As I said there should be no special status given to any business.
If you want to run a non profit business then all you have to do is show zero profit on your returns every year.

The business of religion is bigger than Apple and Google combined.

Denying that is almost as dumb as believing in the magic man in the sky

And here is the crux of your position. You are just an anti-religious bigot.

How progressive of you.
