Gay advocates fight churches' charity status
I have long felt that organized religion takes undue advantage of their tax free status. Now it appears there is mounting pressure to end their priviledged status. Sorry folks but when you cross the line and use your churches to push a political agenda you can no longer claim you are strictly a charitable organization.
You crossed that line a long time ago but now it's catching up to you.
It's pretty simple really. Organizations advocating FOR SSM do not recieve charitable organization status but churches advocating AGAINST SSM do. Why does one group recieve preferential treatment that the other does not. It's obvious that opposing SSM is NOT a charitable act so churches should not be allowed to use monies donated to them to promote a political agenda while at the same time benefiting from tax laws designed to help charitable organizations. A no brainer.
You wanna promote bigotry ... ok ... you wanna use public funds to do it ... NOT ok.
