The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

If guvmint can't revoke Scientology's, no need of trying any other scam.
If they do succeed, fucking Mormons better be EXTREMELY concerned.

I am against it. If Scientology loses tax free status what becomes of my Church of the Holy Octopus?

It's a start but is it constitutional? Can they really revoke Scientology's ticket while letting LDS keep theirs? I doubt it survives a challenge. The government cannot brand one religion bullshit while giving others its stamp of approval. It has to be all or none.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

That's why you have to tax them all.
Of course, that's not really what it means. Stripping their exemption would mean that donations were not tax deductible...meaning you'd see those tithes dry up in one big fucking hurry.
They could still file their 1120 return and claim all of their expenses.

Just take it to Japan. They're big on tentacles over there.
