I started with a simple search and stumbled onto something very disturbing.

As far as I am concerned all churches should be taxed.

They are not doing the Lord's work, but are deep in self greed. Only Billy Graham is a a true man of God and Evangelist. He lives for the Lord not material positions.

I don't know of a one that is not run as a business - they claim non- profit but one can not run a business without a profit - some one has to be paid in order for the profit to be used up.

I was told a long time ago -- "Get with the Lord, there's money in it."

There was this alter boy, every Sunday, after passing the offering plate, hey would toss all the money into the air, then after it landed on the ground, would stuff it into his pockets and go home.
After a few instances, one of the flock told him that, "that was God's money", and why was he taking it home?
The boy replied........
After I collect the money, I toss it high into the air, and God grabs whatever he wants. What he doesn't take, is mine!! :lol:

I don't think churches should be taxed. I don't know about other cities but here in Pittsburgh for whatever reason Colleges and Universities are not taxed. Within the city limits there are seven universities and colleges that take up a lot of real estate.

Strictly speaking, a profit in business happens after the deduction of all expense including pay of employees.
