Why can't a church pay taxes on what it takes in like any other business?
Why not restructure how the church uses the money rather than changing the laws?
AS an employee I pay taxes, therefore the place I work for should not pay taxes.

I'm done responding to GC. It's like talking to a lobotomised monkey.
Lobotomized monkeys are less dogmatic.
Let's start small, though. HOw about just making the jesus-spewing motherfuckers account for the sums they rake in from dolts like G-C so we can see what they are doing with it.
