The reality is that this doesn't always happen... My local church has tons of 60-inch TVs set up inside and the pastor guy built a new house for himself on the church's grounds a couple years back.

The reality is that this doesn't always happen... I don't think so. It has to do with religious freedom and the separation of church and state. Churches are treated separately from other general charitable organizations --- But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. <cite>Balrog0 posted [p:937872638] in If churche...

Balrog0 04/22/20 10:59:18 AM #11:	Well, they are 501c3s, but the public good they're advancing is their religion. So the service itself is the charity --- But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. <cite>Balrog0 posted [p:937872789] in If churche...

Southernfatman 04/22/20 11:09:57 AM #13:	I think when you have a whole section of the church dedicated to business matters like a lot of churches down here do, it's time to get your ass taxed. They're not just organizing bake sales with offices like that. One of the churches I've done work in has a very nice business wing. The pastor's office is even nicer and you can tell he has a lot of money. --- https://imgur.com/hslUvRN When I sin I sin real good. <cite>Southernfatman posted [p:937873324] in If churche...
