About time the IRS started looking into the tax-exempt status of these churches.
ReplyDelete"Santorum whining about 'religious persecution'"
ReplyDeleteHere's my two cents:
Religious institutions have enjoyed immense priviledges from the US government, and it's at the expense of taxpayers (straight and gay) and equality. Tax money from gays and lesbians helps fund Catholic-run adoption centers that refuse to place children in the homes of gay/lesbian couples solely because they are gay/lesbian couples. People are starting to see how unfair this is.
Santorum is really obsessing over this separation of church and state. If there is no separation, which rules of a religion or religious sect does the government enforce? Some Chistian sects along with Jews and Muslims observe dietary laws of the OT and the Koran. Shall the federal government ban the sale of pork and shut down all hog farms (bet that would go over just swell in North Carolina, a state considering its own marriage amendment)? Lobster's out of the question too. All those lobstermen in New England will have to find other jobs. Some Catholics won't eat meat on Fridays and still attend confessionals. Imagine the government mandating that all Jews, Muslims, and Protestants do these things. Mandatory Christian prayer in public schools? Sure, why not? Atheists, Buddhists, Hindu, and Shintoists couples with children attending public schools would LOVE the idea.
