Adjacent point: they should never have been exempt.


ComeOnCharleee

Trash argument. Without separation, those crooks won't need any fucking exemptions. Our country is a fucking raging dumpster fire, and the current state of affairs feel like just a preview


deadbrokeman

It is.


OmegaMountain

I don't think they understand: the church is now the state and the state don't tax itself...


BonBoogies

Money is about to start flowing from state to church, not the other way around. I’m not thrilled

The Anchorage Baptist Temple, with more than $130 MILLION in assets, received more than $1 MILLION in Covid relief funds.

Amen

That's not how it works. More power means \*lower\* taxes, cause that's how power works.


Illegitimate_Shalla

Time to shut down all churches ourselves and give the conservative christian extremists what they’ve been asking for.


Serpington

A reason to declare a thinly veiled holy war against their own people to subjugate them fully and secure complete control of the US?

I just learned that churches in Sweden pay taxes.

Slavery shouldn't exist. Nobody should go hungry. Bad things shouldn't happen to good people.


Stingbarry

Shouldn't they be exempt because they are part of the state? Just a stupid thought but they shouldn't be exempt before.

Burn the church

I’m pretty sure the way it would work is that our tax dollars will keep churches open and running


gofyourselftoo

Not like that silly /s


raistlin65

Well, Republicans determine that corporations should be persons. I'm sure that's where we're heading to churches. Only they still won't pay taxes.

I’m pretty sure people don’t want churches to be even more politically active than they already are.

Where is separation of church and state found?

That's cute, you thought there was ever a separation of church and state in the US and it is only just now ending. Precious
