Off Topic.
Also, I am not talking about government spending I am talking about more government money.
Hate?
No emotion here... at least not from me.

Cloud, it relates to their tax status because they are exempt for what reason?
Seriously?
Why are they exempt?
They are not charities. Studies show that churches use 95%, on average, of their funds for "administrative costs".
There is no reason for them to be tax exempt.
In most states they own more land and investments than any single industry.
They are a business, nothing more, and we should treat them as such.
I am not saying they should not exist, I am saying that unless they are a charity and use the predominance of their funds for charitable activities (preaching is not charity) they do not have any reason to be tax exempt.
