My error "tax write off" not "right off".. We disagree.. Being tax exempt is a privilege.. because of our long held beliefs in God, church and charity.

Atheists would love for the churches to lose that exemption..and I don't want them to lose it..You obviously do not like election laws or tax codes..Write your Congressman.

I don't want my pastor, my Bishop or my church to tell me who to vote for...whether I agree with him or not.My vote is between God and me.

"I don't want my pastor, my Bishop or my church to tell me who to vote for...whether I agree with him or not.My vote is between God and me."

Your pastor should be able to speak the truth as he or she sees it without fear of reprisal. The church operates on funds donated from it's congregation. It has no income....Churches should be exempt from taxes not because the government says they should be or because they agree to self censor themselves....The whole idea of taxing churches is wrong to begin with...Campaign finance laws are another thing all together...I believe they are unconstitutional as well regardless of what Sandra Day O'conner has to say...My thing is let us have true free speech and stop regulating who can assemble or what they have to say.....let the First Amendment prevail and tell the IRS where to get off
