N.C. church may loose tax exempt status for engaging in political activity.

[Cinjin]

On the issue of tax exemption, right or wrong aren't they a charity? I can see how some of what they do should be taxed. Things like businesses, real estate investments, and very expensive "parsonages" but other things look like they can qualify as a charity. Where are the lines drawn for non religious charities vs the lines for religious charities? I think religions have special status but I don't know for sure.

The churches that I attended growing up (Fundamental baptist) rarely ever did any kind of charitable activities. No soup kitchens, no toys at christmas. No batterered women or drug addict outreach. Nothing.

The community hardly knew they existed and if they did it was always in a negative connotation - as those jesus assholes had contempt for everyone.



it's such a god damn filthy disease poisoning everything and everyone.
