Because like 95% of the churches should already lose their tax-exempt status over this and they don't enforce it anyway

They should lose their status, fuck em.

Also, I have no doubt it is wide spread, but none of the churches I've been to have because of this rule. So changing it will end up with more churches doing it.

Frankly a church shouldn't have tax exempt status - if that church does actual charitable work they can write that off, and presumably if they do enough charity then functionally they will have no taxes, but there's no reason to presume that a church is charitable from the jump.

Try to form a well regulated militia in this country when you're the wrong color and see what happens.

Not that either, because they love gun control for minorities.

So if you started a church called "The church of capitalism" and had its first tenant be the entire purpose of the faith is to help its followers to launder money do you think they'd give a shit?

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
