Isn't it interesting that those who argue so vehemently for the "separation of church & state" would go absolutely berserk if the 501C-3 exemption would be suddenly yanked from their favorite IRS (gov't) approved place of worship and their offerings were no longer tax deductible. Kinda hard to see any separation from church and state when the IRS has so many pastors quivering in their pants with the ongoing threat of revocation of 501c-3 status should the pastor "stray from the reservation" and level an large amount of criticism of fedgov policies. This whole whole issue just reeks of hypocrisy.

That's funny ... and interesting. Having never been a religious person, perhaps you could tell me, are churches required to be registered as 501c3's with the IRS? If not then I guess they could bite the bullet and stand on principle. Actually preach what they think instead of what's "safe."
