| Agreed. The problem comes in when religious organizations are doing things outside of their religion, but expecting to keep getting the same tax benefits for it as they do in the church. If you start a day care center, you should have the same regulations as any other day care center. If you start a thrift store, you should have to follow the same laws as any other thrift store. These things have nothing to do with the functioning of a church, they are businesses and need to be treated as such.
If anything, this is a good reason to look at why we give breaks to religion in the first place if they're just going to abuse it. |
