That church is more like a cult, and they need to be investigated properly

I mostly agree with you. I think all religious institutions should have to pay taxes and show quarterly financial statements, but that constitutionally cannot happen. As far as the federal government is concerned, the one and only thing that makes something a religion is all important religious tax exemption.

the catholic church is the largest tax exempt business in the world, charge them taxes and the money could be put to better use

Mormons are a pretty big business too

I would agree, but most Christian churches are kept up by tithes and offering. Mega churches work a little differently, but the average Baptist church is run by donation only and they have expenses, like paying the pastor, missions raising, even utilities and groundskeeping.

Your pastor should make enough to support his family with a comfortable middle class living, and send his kids to a state school. If he makes enough to afford a private jet, something is wrong.

You see the irony in what you're saying, don't you?

Oh look, I'm gonna get double-teamed by the most intolerant tolerant people on the Internet.

Sero, I told you not to engage the trolls!

Yeah, but it's like two flies longingly slamming into the window.
You take pity on them.

I'm not for "disappearing" politicians (though it often sounds soooo satisfying, the corrupt f@cks) but the argument can be made that they're tolerant people intolerant of intolerance.
