Atheists Sue IRS Over Bully Pulpit

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

I gladly donate to my church, they do a lot of good with charities and homeless shelters.

Churches will never be taxed....not in my lifetime.

Your church does a lot for pedophiles and scumbag lawyers too, with your money.

You are painting a broad brush stroke to all 'churches'. You are welcome to come to mine here in NW MN, a lot of good people. Ours does a lot of good in the community.

If it's catholic, you are financially supporting pedophiles, an army of scumbag PR and legal firms and the decadent weirdo circus that is the Vatican.

I think your average agnostic would like to see the Catholic church hold itself to as high a standard as they hold their constituency...

and

If the Catholic church would use the same amount of energy towards addressing it's internal problems as it has in concealing them I think most people would forgive - but how can you in light of all their hypocrisy

They're a mess. I'm not really jazzed up about this issue cuz the church lost its moral authority eons ago. Joe's right, it's no big deal.

Hell, if you want something, simply ask the church to lobby against what you want, and you 'll get it.

No, I am not Catholic.

Born, baptized, confirmed, married into the Protestant Lutheran Church.

I go an Evangelical Free Church now.

Why did you assume I was Catholic by just posting in this thread?

Because I'm insane.
