Bible-believing churches shouldn't live in fear of the IRS (heavy hand of gubmint) just for preaching the Gospel

Can you name one single church that has ever run afoul of the IRS for preaching the Gospel?

This legislation is a fix for a problem that simply does not exist. Any misconceptions about what registered churches are allowed/not allowed to do can be cleared up pretty simply through education -- not passing yet more unnecessary laws -- something conservatives should unite in opposing.

Unless, of course, some people who are for this legislation merely want to grant an advantage to churches that every other 501 (c)(3) non-profit would not enjoy.

What universe do you live in? Do you know why a crook can't find a policeman? It's because they aren't looking for one. And that's why you can't find churches which had their tax-exempt status removed because they dared to speak on that "anathema" subject: POLITICS." Unbelievers do not search out religious articles to read. So it's only obvious why YOU can't find any.
