    The super-rich and the churches pay no taxes?
    No wonder America has gone bankrupt.

    That has long been my contention. Modern day churches are nothing if not for profit entities. They should be paying any tax that any other for profit business would pay.

    Most people have been functionally not for profit all their lives, but they still pay taxes.

    Absolutely. But how many of them realize that?

    Didn't she give birth to a drunken fat whore who dropped out of high school
    and gave birth to a bastard son
    Ridicule of her handicapped son can't be far behind

    You continue with your bumper sticker mythology. Good luck with that.

    Has your thinking got you into trouble before? I suspect so.

    Why concentrate on the mormons. On the loony scale they are no where near the bottom.
    Take, for instance, that nice Mr. Creflo Dollar. He runs the World Changers Church (should be the World SHORT Changers Church. He has been asked (nicely, I am sure) to send detailed accounting statements to your Senate Finance Committee. See Mr. Dollar (opening for a stream of simple jokes) keeps two jets, a Lear and a Gulfstream 3, two Rolls Royces (although he only admits to one!) a $3million mansion in Atlanta and a $2.44 million condo in Manhattan. It seems that the Short Change church isn't much more than a franchise operation with annual payments going to the well known con man, quack and snake oil salesman Mr. Kenneth Copeland. Mr Copeland collects his 'protection' money from several other 'churches' as well.
    Now the saddest thing about this, apart from the huge amounts of tax free earnings that finance these people's lives is the fact that hundreds of thousands of otherwise normal Americans spend part of their Sundays a-huggin' and a-shout'n, and a-praise the lordin' and a-handing over their hard earned cash to Copeland's growing army of con men. That's sad.
    Now, here is todays question: How many of these hally-looyah-in people are republicans and how many are democrats or do we now divide your country into the mad and the barking mad?

    If you feel so inclined a comment would be appreciated.

    Respect a believers right to believe, but they should damn well repect our right to challenge such utterly illogical notions.

    Holy shit Low, I thought you were having another of your flights of fancy. You have to forgive me as it is hard to believe, even in the US, that anyone can be called Creflo Dollar!!
    I'm sick of following my dreams. I'm just going to ask them where they're going, and hook up with them later.

    Granule is a Mormon so he isn't likely to be very objective on the subject.

    Any organisation that exists for profit - whether or not they admit it - should pay tax on those profits. I, personally, do not know of a trades union that exists for profit, admitted or not, but things might be different where you live.

    Goodness gracious, is he really? I am surprised because in the league of loonies mormons tend not to be as objectionable as he is. Perhaps he is new.
