Should some or all churches be required to pay taxes like everyone else?”

No, and yes.

For example, on my street alone (about 1 mile), there’s 7 churches that I know of – with one of them being Haitian in a rented building, and one being split Chinese/English.

None of them “give back to the community” – unless you’re talking about standing on the street on Friday’s, and shoving fliers into your vehicle at stoplights, without even asking permission.

And yes, revoke tax-exempt status; not just the mormon church, but ALL of them. And that’s including “ex-gay ministries”. I find it appalling that Exodus is tax-exempt, yet links to Scott Lively’s holocaust revisionist website.

I believe Obama has said that he may continue federal “faith-based initiatives,” so I think we may continue to see truckloads of fresh green cash being trucked from the U.S. Mint to Democratic recruiting stations churches.

I agree that there should be no double standards — and no government subsidies or tax breaks to sectarian religious institutions. If church charity work is truly vital to a community, then I’m confident that the community’s private individuals will donate.

Yes, Yes, and YES!!!!!!
