Comments on O They Will Know We Are Christians...

i've never been too clear on this whole church thing. so, people give money to the church they go to? how does it work, is it really like the old collection plate deal, or is there a weekly fee and some sort of billing process?
what a scam. why would god need money? sheesh...

Many churches truly earn their non-profit status and are an asset to the community they serve. I also think every church's non-profit status should be in question, just as any common 501(c)(3) group is scrutinized for theirs, come tax time.

I'll just repeat what's been said on Slog many many times before...

CHURCHES SHOULD NOT BE TAX EXEMPT!!!

@3: It's been said a lot, but that doesn't make it smart.

Rather than revoke the tax-exempt status of all churches, and by so doing punish all those that perform legitimate nonprofit work for the community, why don't we beef up enforcement of 501(c)(3) rules and bust the frauds?

I'll just say that the word "community" as used by 2 and 4 is one of the most meaningless and detestable catch-phrases going and should not be used as an underlying justification for tax-exempt status. It may have even eclipsed "freedom" in my book...

Christians are all peverts, tax cheats and idiots. That's because Christianity is a toxic cult.

Judaism teaches righteousness. That's why Jews are never caught in sex scandals or as tax cheats. The sooner we rid the world of Christianity the better.
