Leftist, commie, socialist, anarchist, satanic-demokkkRAT bureaucrats; the gov’t is stocked with so many of them, my calculator melted trying to count one agency’s roster.

Sadly, the IRS opened the door to all sorts fraudulent organizations that can define themselves the same way...
Why can’t you charter a “church of the millionaires “ to be exempt ???

The IRS already gave the Church of Scientology tax status as a church. The Satanists couldn’t begin to touch that bunch for being evil.

How can Satan be a god to worship, when our Nation was founded under the God of the Old and New Testaments and Satan is a deadly spirit
to be fought and avoided according to those sources?

So if I set up a Church of the Snake spirit of Eden and pay myself a big salary running it, can I get designated a charitable org too?

People can be so dumb.

this is in keeping with the earlier ruling by SC that the Church of Satan was a recognized religion.

Don’t like it

I’ve read the Book. I know how it ends for satanist’ and it’s not a pretty picture. When their souls are consumed for eternity, which activist appellate judge will they call for? Where will their civil rights advocates be? What about human rights counsels? Or will they also be their eternal neighbors?

In the process of starting a Registered Fundraiser biz. Raise money for charities. To keep from having to register and pay a bond in almost every state we had to find a 501 c 3 to work with. Partner. I’m thinking after a year or so we’ll start our own 501 c 3 so we can work under it. Why not? If it’s good enough for Satan........

A Wise Old Sage once told me that when you enter into a 501 c 3 contract with the government you give up any dissension with the government that you are in contract with. In effect those churches become ineffective.
