Giving up tax exempt status is no freedom. You should know that.

As a side note, your post was almost unreadable. I had to force myself to wade through it all.

What do I know ?

The same "common sense" that you do.

There isn't such thing as a "free lunch".

The U.S. Government (like all others) uses "free lunces" to control states, institutions, companies, religious charitable corporations, and people.

The U.S. Government's "free lunch" (financial gift) to church corporations is AKA IRS 501-C3.



Most Christians are in complete denial about this. It raises painful and ugly questions.

Questions about "personal greed" and that troublesome scripture "Thou shalt have No other gods before Me".



Now, a question for you ... and the clock is ticking ...

Jesus Christ paid His FULL taxes to Rome ... "Render Unto Caesar".

Is the church you attend "better/smarter/more cool/more entertaining" than Jesus Christ ?

Give us just "one" reason "how" your Christian Church is justified (scripturally) to NOT pay it's FULL taxes ... when Jesus Christ COMMANDED you to.


Don't worry about that "ticking clock" phrase. I apologize for being a wise guy.

because neither you, your pastor, Senator Ted Cruz or Rev. Billy Graham ...

will be able to provide the "scripture" (above) that I asked you for ...

because it ain't in the book.


Case closed.
