If you think that these churches would be immune from government interference in their teachings and doctrines if they just surrendered their tax exempt status, then you are certifiably insane (with the definition of insanity being doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result).
These churches are not being attacked and singled out because they have tax exempt status. They are being attacked because they preach the gospel and the gospel is an affront to sinners.
These homo activists will not stop attacking churches if they give up their tax exempt status. Indeed they will double their efforts because they will believe (rightly so) that they have managed to win the battle on the way to winning the war.
Preach on, bro!
I agree with you.
But I don’t want to give them a legal handle. Remove the 501c3 then what do they have? I believe this makes it easier to see exactly what you are proclaiming and exactly what I agree with.
I believe that having the 501c3 allows them to cloud the issue.
I want to make it real clear to everyone that what you are proclaiming, and what I agree with, is the deeper issue at hand.
If you agree to be taxed, then you open the door to even more harassment as they demand ever more documentation, and mistakes or lack of documentation on your part become federal tax fraud.
