And you realize that the church is not the only organization in the USA that does not pay taxes? Any and all 501-503c organizations do not pay tax, and none are so heavily regulated. in fact a presidential campaign can be considered a non taxable organization and yet have one of these restrictions placed on it. The girl scouts do not have these restrictions. yet the church does... that is discrimination.

I can’t turn away a patient or refuse to treat someone.

I’m not allowed to treat patients using a rusty knife and kitchen tongs!

And most importantly, unlike churches, I still have to pay taxes.

are you allow to have a political opinion?

Are you forced to share your work space with people seeking to taint your clean environment?

Are you forced to abandon your parking lot connected to your building and be made to walk 1 to 2 miles (nearest authorized parking facility)

Are you forced to buy a bus and transport the old and infirm to and from this parking lot?

Are you forced to give out in literal tons of food in lieu of taxes to people looking to take advantage and abuse the program that refuse to meet any of the qualifications you may have to justify funding this program??

No? to me it seems you are bitching about doing what your job requires. Things you agreed to do things that one must take an oath to to even be considered for your job.

Everything I mentioned is added on well after the fact. These rules are meant to starve out and shut the church down. 

what business that requires a shop or store visit could operate without parking? If the church can not be allowed suitable parking then the membership dwindles, donations falter and all of the extra expenses mandated in an unfair way make the church default in it's new requirements resulting moving the congregation.

When is the last time you where forced to move via code enforcement violations?

question are you not smart enough to make an honest comparison between the church I mention and your own situation or are you banking on the fact that the people reading your post are not smart enough to see past you ham fisted attempt at belittling this situation?
My favorite...the Drich wall of drivel with the mandatory insult thrown in for good measure.  It's so comforting when you can count on things to be a certain way.
