Who has this list on exactly what the Gov is trying to "discourage" ?

Have you in the past complained about the Nation of Islam not paying taxes on their income?

Danno, don't play coy, you're not very convincing at it. As to the nation of islam, I have no problem with them, as long as they stay within the rules to maintain their tax exempt status. They are free to worship whatever fairy tail they want to, just as you are.

What's funny is some of you think the government is "rewarding" folks by allowing them to keep money that's already theirs.

OK slim, you can pay for your own waste disposal, road maintenance, crime prevention, disaster relief, put out your own fires, teach your own kids, and if we ever have to go to war, you can pay for your own equipment too.

Slim you are so -on target here.

It's like the presumption with these folks is that all money belongs to the Fed but if you play your cards right they might let you keep a certain amount...... never forgetting that what you keep is actually the

Govt subsidizing you for approved activity.

Come on now.... you said this churches behavior is something the federal government is trying to "discourage".

Can you be a little more specific, what are these social things the Federal Government is using the tax to to discourage and where can I get the list?

Doesn't everyone already pay for that before going to church?

What you're basically saying is people should pay income, property, sales, etc., taxes and then, when they go to church and DONATE money for that non-profit organization to function that money should be taxed as well. Am I missing something?

We don't owe the government anything.

Back to topic here... why can't a religious institution be discriminatory if they choose?

Ah, but they can !

There may or may not be repurcussions, depending on the taxing authority.

Perhaps it's time for a 'Sunday Meeting' at that church, of 2000 inter-racial couples, have a nice sit-in and attend services?

Apparently they would welcome that but just like the Congressional Black Caucus.... don't try to be a part of things without meeting the correct racial parameters.

Danno, you are a bald-faced liar. Just because you misunderstood my post, that is no excuse for making up lies. I suggest you reread what I posted if you actually care to discuss this further.
