What part of Article 1, Section 8 gives federal government the power to tax any church? That is the question.

Just because you like the federal for-profit and not-for-profit catagories doesn't mean everyone accepts it as legitimate. As far as I'm concerned, the federal government needs to be reduced back into the Constitutional box it came in.

Well, your idea is good. The sense I get from looking around is that the world is too complex and too close to allow a sort of “everyman for himself” view. You don’t want a pig farm next door...why not? You don’t want the man who owns the factory to force everyone to go to his church or they get fired...why not? If everyone is “free”, why can’t these folks be free? Because they crush others. And, right now the big “churches” (Catholic, in particular) are sometimes more into acquiring than correct teaching. Why should a big gilded monstrosity of a building be needed? Really. Can’t a group of believers simply gather in a home and pray and teach? Without an “organization” behind them? Without a 40 acre parking lot and a $ 30 mm Crystal Cathedral (Schuller’s crazy palace, now in the hands of the Catholic Org.). What is wrong with the excess being taxed just like a company has to pay?
