Time To Tax Churches. They Are Selling A Political Message Not A Religious One

[TheMastersNemesis]

As I drive by the 7 or 8 churches within 5 miles of my house all I see is congregations building bigger churches. It is obvious that these institutions are really not religious institutions at all. They are no more than businesses selling a political ideology under the disguise of the religion. They are selling the Bible and using it for monetary gain. The leaders of these churches are sleazy and crafty businessmen feathering their nests and fleecing their followers. All you have to do is look at their wealth and their lifestyle.

What is worse is that the taxpayer is paying for the public services they use and they are free loaders. They pay no property taxes and yet they want taxpayer money to indoctrinate children to their form of religion.

Most Americans are members of a church.

3. A congregation is only legit if it politically agrees with the Censors?

You're exactly the reason we have the 1st Amendment. The founders saw you coming from 200 years away.
