    Why aren't they taxed?

    Here is the trick. pay your tithes and such by checks made payable to GOD.
    If God really needs your money he will cash the check.

    Yes, we can't have churches asking for money, cause they would spend it on such useless things as feeding the homeless, providing emergency services to battered women, building schools in third world countries and other useless nonsense.

    So when does asking for tithes = loving money?
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
    - -- Aristotle

    Because it is never enough with some institutions, like the LDS, who will give you a loan so that you are able to tithe.

    the preachers say it is for the work that God told them to do.
    If he wants them to do it he will cash the check.
    Have faith.

    Or do like the crystal cathedral dynasty, or Jim and Tammy or several other evangelical dynastical families have done.

    Actually, tithing was a Jewish requirement, the tithe was to support the Temple priesthood and since there is no Temple, there should be no tithing. Now, you can give to the church if you wish, but it is not required by YHWH.
