"Religio-crazies" should lose tax exempt status, do you agree?
As a liberal Christian, it is very refreshing to see this post! Churches who openly endorse candidates should lose their tax exempt status. I believe that a complaint needs to be filed with the IRS, then there is an investigation, and then a resolution. Most churches who violate this seem to be right wing, as the liberal churches advocate the seperation of church and state (I am an ordained Baptist minister, and my church certainly does). For the hateful response above against Jeremiah Wright's church, it is ok to mention and criticize the current government in the church. I believe that is a good thing for churches--asking questions and encouraging the congregation to think intelligently on current events. It is specifically endorsing a candidate for office that is illegal.
