Let's make the distinction between churches and charities clear shall we.
Your churches only benefit you believers. They don't benefit me. Even then you don't need them.
Charities exist to help everyone, and provide a service that is needed. Your church doesn't.
If you're asking whether I think churches should get tax exemptions? Hell fucking no.
I also think it rather ironic that churches are labelled as 'non-profits'. Get a fucking clue.
Good job, hair plugs. Way to avoid the totality of his argument.
Taxes ought to be abolished period. Anyone crying about how the government doesn't have enough of our money to mismanage can freely pour more of their discretionary income into the state coffers. Given that we can't be entirely throw the government off our teat we need to first promote responsible government managing of funds before we demand more groups pay into their coffers, religious or not. I don't give a shit what religious groups do with their money. I'm more interested in our government doing things right.
GET IT RIGHT, B.
