You missed my point entirely. All churches should be tax exempt under the First Amendment regardless of how or what they preach.
Tax exemption is not just a matter of whether donors can deduct their contributions. It is also a matter of property tax exemption, sales tax exemption, income tax exemption and exemption from any other punitive tax that Obama or a future regime may want to impose on churches in the future.
The power to tax is not only the power to destroy. According to the Supreme Court’s Obamacare ruling, the power to tax is the power to do anything.
I agree with your points 100%.
But the Marxists/atheists are in control. As they, as planned, control our educational system and media, our nation is predominantly dumbed-down and brainwashed - and the percentages of such are only on the increase. Until we have a solution for dealing with the root of their brainwashing, their numbers will only increase.
I believe only a collapse and revival of truth (a Christian world-view, and personal revival) can change things.
So the likelihood of our changing the status quo on tax law is nil.
I’m saying that there is another way around this - if only for the present situation. Even if not tax-exempt, every church should show zero profits, leaving themselves only subject to property taxes, sales taxes, etc. These should not impact true believers in any significant way.
