To convince me that it would be constitutional to tax churches you would need to show:
1)The tax would not impede the free exercise of religion.
or
2)The state has a compelling interest in taxing all persons equally(I'm figuring that a church is a person for purposes of law).
How about showing how a church being required to pay tax impedes on the free exercise of religion? Why do they get special treatment that no one else gets?
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
