Should Churches Remain Tax-Exempt?

[Chad32]

And that would be fine. We're not saying tax the church and keep them out of the government. We're saying if they're going to be in the government, they should be taxed.

We've been kicked out of the schools and all government buildings, we're told to keep what we believe in side our buildings, even businesses have begun to forbid there employees to tell people marry Christmas. That is violating there right to free speech, they have been pushed by the ACLU and it's policies people are now restricted to express there speech and belief. The ACLU's agenda is to silence all eventually, wait and see.
So, you would be fine with prayer in school and all government meetings, I can just hear the screaming from the ACLU and their supporters.

No it's not violating their right to free speech. When someone says happy holidays, it includes christmas as much as every other winter solstice holiday. You can still pray in schools, because prayer to Yahweh doesn't need to be spoken.

I don't want it involved in government. That's supposed to be why it's tax free. Separation of church and state. However it has somehow gotten so involved with state matters, I don't see why it shouldn't be taxed. So it might not be able to give as much to charity, and the government could give more if it was run correctly. So you might not have a dozen or more churches in a small town. so what?

We don't need the ten commandments on our courthouses. We only respect two or three anyway. The first few are unconstitutional. We have child protective services to protect against fathers and mothers who don't deserve to be honored. Coveting, i.e. thought crime, can't be made illegal.
